About the Mike Duke Memorial Seminar
Entomology graduate students sponsor a special annual seminar, the Mike Duke Memorial Seminar, typically during the spring semester. This seminar series was established in 1988 in honor of Michael E. Duke, a graduate student in entomology who died tragically shortly after he received his master’s degree from NCSU. This seminar series serves as a focal point with which we honor not only the contributions of graduate students to entomology but also as a reminder of the potential for excellence that exists within every individual. Each year the graduate students in the department invite a distinguished speaker who has made substantial achievements and represents the standards of excellence. As hosts of the speaker, students have the opportunity to interact with and learn from an outstanding scientist. This interaction allows students to gain insight into their own research and offers a model with which to base their own future careers in entomology. The Mike Duke Seminar is therefore an event to commemorate excellence that is already present and
