What happens when Durham comes together to invest in young people? Join for Student U’s Morning Brilliance Tour and see for yourself.

Designed for business leaders, community partners, and civic champions, this special behind-the-scenes experience offers an inspiring look at Student U’s Summer Academy, where joy and academic excellence go hand in hand. Enjoy breakfast, connect with fellow leaders, and step into classrooms filled with curiosity, confidence and possibility.

You’ll hear directly from students about their experiences, aspirations and the relationships that help them thrive. You’ll learn how Student U partners with students, families and educators for more than a decade to create lasting opportunities and stronger learning communities across Durham.

Student U students achieve a 100% high school graduation rate and more than half earn a post-secondary degree within six years, more than double the national average for first-generation college students from low-income households.
