Duke University | Baldwin Scholars Program
Dania Toth
Hello! I'm Dania Toth, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I am daughter of Michael Toth and Cory Krupp, and friend to anyone who enjoys Disney movies and a quality newspaper in the morning.
I am an Arabic Language and Public Policy double major and a possible minor in political science, with ambition to (you guessed it) enter the USDS foreign service. Hillary Clinton and I share the same birthday, which obliges me a fantastic talking point should we ever meet. My research both last summer and this fall has focused on the religious dialogue surrounding the veil, female education, and women's role in development in Muslim societies. My other research venture has been examining women in the STEM fields (science, tech, engineering, and math) and analyzing ways to increase both the number of women in those fields and boost their professional quality of life.
My passion has always been high school speech and debate. I was a competitor on the national circuit for three years and now the head coach of a local program in Durham. I also love coaching little league soccer, impressionist art, making coffee and barista drinks from the comfort of my dorm room, speaking French and Arabic (although Arabic has a LONG way to go), and plenty of other little things, like watching chick flicks with ice cream. I am also a rabid Cameron Crazie (Tent 21!!!!!!!!!!!) and a Panthers/Eagles fan.
PLEASE do not be shy if you have any questions about the Baldwin program! I love talking about, well, anything and everything, and would love to hear from you.
