Internal Partners

Duke has engaged 5 full-time resources to manage and support international needs. They, in turn, collaborate with Duke subject matter experts to ensure the best support and research-focused solutions are offered. International support and issue resolution often require a multi-view approach, as issues often touch multiple functional areas. Duke has also engaged a host of professional service providers (Legal, Tax, Human Resources, etc.) that currently support Duke’s international programs and/or are consulted to supplement Duke’s expertise in pursuit of the best support model for any given challenge.
