DBA is unique in that it is both a university student government and a professional bar association. As such, DBA performs a variety of functions at the law school, including promoting the student body's academic and professional growth, providing opportunities to strengthen the social and intellectual community at the school, and representing the student body to the Law School, the legal profession, and the greater Durham community.

One of the DBA's most significant functions is overseeing the majority of Duke Law's student clubs and organizations. DBA provides assistance and funding to groups looking to hold events, from lunchtime talks to professional symposia. DBA also charters new student groups, to meet the changing needs and interests of the student body. The efforts of student groups are supplemented by DBA's own activities and programs, including athletic leagues, social events, and student fellowships.

DBA also functions as the liaison between students, faculty, and the administration. To that end, DBA sends student representatives to every major faculty committee at Duke Law, including the Admissions, Faculty Appointments, and Planning and Curriculum Committees. This ensures that students are central to all major decisions at Duke Law, from faculty hires to grading system changes. DBA also sends representatives to the Law Student Division of the American Bar Association, and to Duke's Graduate and Professional Student Council.

Duke's Neurodiversity Advocates (DNA) is dedicated to introducing new healthcare professionals to a broader scope of education regarding disabilities, and facilitating outreach opportunities within our community. Our goal is to highlight and overcome the lack of recognition disability receives as a determinant of health within the finite education of our healthcare system. This currently limited education and exposure to disabilities is a constraint on both understanding the true impact and providing adequate care. Providing holistic care to our patients requires the confident ability of the healthcare professional to eliminate biases, provide trust within our interactions and use respectful language. We hope that interprofessional collaboration will allow us to utilize our unique skill sets to grow as professionals, minimize the distance between the "disabled" and "abled" and build an inclusive environment that will benefit our future patients. While establishing these goals, we hope to be Duke's first Interprofessional Education (IPE) organization to ignite new ways of thinking, connections and opportunities. We aim to provide group members with leadership development opportunities, volunteer experiences within the local community, and extensive education on how to advocate for inclusivity within the healthcare field.
