My name is Precious Graham, and I am a Baldwin Scholar from the Class of 2012. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and African & African American Studies from Duke and a master’s degree in the Social Sciences from the University of Chicago. I also hold a credential in Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) and Impact investing.
At Duke, I completed Duke’s Sociology Honors program and studied abroad at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. I was also actively involved in The Beautiful Project as a photographer and documentarian, using my talents to advocate for social change. My dedication to gender and racial equity and community service was recognized when I received Duke’s Dora Anne Little Service Award in 2012.
After several years in academia, I transitioned into corporate responsibility, where I made significant contributions to various organizations. At Ernst & Young, I served as a key member of the Foundation and University Relations team, overseeing the development and management of EY’s Social Justice Fund and millions in social justice investments. I currently serve as Corporate Responsibility Lead Analyst at Stryker, a leading medical technology company.
I am deeply committed to embodying the values of integrity, leadership, equity, and advocacy in all my endeavors. As I continue to advance in my career, I remain grateful for the transformative experiences and lifelong community provided by the Baldwin Scholars program.
