Historical Note
From http://www.duke.edu/aiesec/
The Duke University chapter of AIESEC was founded
around 1966. AIESEC is an international, non-political,
non-profit, student-run, independent, educational
foundation. It is comprised of students and recent
graduates of institutions of higher education who are
interested in professional careers in economics and
management. AIESEC provides companies with highly
qualified, cost-effective temporary workers from many
countries. These students and recent graduates provide
insight into foreign markets and bring an international
perspective to management. Internationally, AIESEC arranges
the details to place more than 6,000 business graduates
each year. In the United States, AIESEC provides
traineeships with companies such as IBM, AT&T, Arthur
Andersen, and General Electric.
The Duke University chapter was responsible for
locating companies in North Carolina interested in
sponsoring an international student for a short traineeship
exchange, and for hosting foreign students. The Duke
University chapter also worked with the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill chapter to provide orientation,
entertainment, and guidance for students who came to the
Raleigh-Durham, N.C. area on an AIESEC traineeship
exchange. The Duke University chapter organized the
exchange of many students during the late 1960s; the
majority of students traveled to work in western European
offices.
As of 2003, AIESEC is active at Duke University.
