8 videos • 186 views • by Duke University Take a look behind the scenes as the class photo comes to life year after year at Duke. Since 2006, each class at Duke University has been part of the annual class photo tradition where first-year students spell out their class year. Coming together for the class photo marks one of the final times all the first-years will be in a group until commencement four years later. The photo was once captured using massive lifts to snap the picture, but is now captured using a drone.
