The groundwork and efforts of this group have been acknowledged not only by the staff of DUL, but by other departments around Duke as well. In addition to her commitment and service to Duke, Jameca also serves as an Executive Board Member and Treasurer to SEEDS, a local non-profit aimed at teaching life and leadership skills to youth in Durham.
