Duerr, Howley Named 2022 Heidrick Family Scholarship Recipients


DURHAM – Duke student-athletes Emmy Duerr and Caroline Howley were named recipients of the Heidrick Family Leadership Post Graduate Scholarships, the Blue Devil Athletic Department announced Tuesday.
 
The Heidrick Family Leadership Post Graduate Scholarships were established through a generous gift by Bob Heidrick and his family. The recipients are chosen not only for what they have contributed to the leadership community within Duke Athletics but also by who they are as people, how they have grown in the area of leadership and how they have used their leadership development to enhance the community during their undergraduate career at Duke University.
 
The selection is viewed as an investment in the individual rather than on the athletic accomplishment of the individual. It is the investment in the excellence of his/her character, in the qualities of leadership possessed by the individual, commitment to others and the potential for service through outstanding leadership in the future.
 
Two Scholarships will be awarded in the amount of $10,000 each to two graduating Duke student-athletes. The funds are to be applied toward the continuation of their academic endeavors at the graduate or professional school level.  Funds must be used within three years of each recipient’s graduation from Duke University.
 
A native of Cary, N.C., Duerr appeared in 57 matches over the last four years, including four starts.  She tallied four goals, two assists and 10 points over her career.  In the NCAA Tournament as a freshman against Utah, Duerr collected two goals, including the game-winner to send the Blue Devils into the second round.  She is one of only two Duke players to register their first two career goals in NCAA Tournament action.
