Fun Fact

I’m allergic to peanuts but I can eat peanut butter.

Hey everyone. I'm Joshua Andrews but you can call me Josh! Outside of being a SPIRE Fellow, I am the President of the Alpha Alpha Chi chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated and an Abele Ambassador for the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture. In my free time, I like to cook, read, play basketball, video games, and hang out with friends. I'm also really passionate about serving in the local Durham community and love planning community service events with my fraternity brothers. This year I am really excited to get more involved with the SPIRE community!

What do you like about being a SPIRE Fellow?

One thing I love about being a SPIRE fellow is the genuine authenticity I experience with the other SPIRE fellows. There is this natural sense of togetherness within our community and every time I interact with another fellow, I feel a natural smile grow across my face. Often times at Duke, I feel as though interactions can be inauthentic and superficial, but that's never the case amongst SPIRE fellows. We all know we are in this together and genuinely work together to support each others' goals. All in all, the strength of the SPIRE community is one like no other and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
