Join parents from across the country for three online gatherings dedicated to praying for CCS students, staff and programs. Meetings take place from 8 - 8:45 p.m. Eastern to support participation across time zones. Our Fall 2026 dates are September 22, October 20, and December 1.
Email Edward Dixon, our Executive Director, at edward.dixon@duke.edu to join the list.
The CCS Parent Committee meets once or twice each semester to help plan parent engagement, exam-week support, special events and prayer initiatives. Members offer ideas, coordinate support and help CCS respond to the needs of students throughout the academic year. Parents interested in joining the parent committee can email Gayle Swayne at gayleswayne@yahoo.com
Parents who prefer to help with individual needs are invited to join the CCS volunteer list. CCS will share opportunities related to exam week, events and other one-time projects. Volunteers select the requests that fit their interests and schedules.
