Cook Center partners with Duke, NEON to bring college courses to low-income high schools
Talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. Through a new partnership between Duke University, the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, and the National Education Opportunity Network (NEON), more than 200 talented students from low-income high schools across the country will have the opportunity to experience a course taught by Tyson Brown, Duke professor and Cook Center director. The course, “Medical Sociology: Who Gets Sick and Why?” will explore how health outcomes are influenced by social structures and systems of power. Upon successful completion of the course, the students will earn widely transferable college credits and an official transcript from Duke.
