Chimamanda Adichie Continues Motivating As She Prepares To Receive Honorary Degree from Duke University


Nigerian award-winning author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will receive an honorary degree from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina on Sunday the 13th of  May.

Information released from Duke Today says that “Chimamanda’s  visit to Duke University in 2018 will be particularly special, as her 2013 book Americanah was selected as the pre-matriculation summer reading assignment for this year’s graduating class.” She visited Duke in September 2014 to discuss her book with the members of the Class of 2018, who were then first-year students.
