Please contact Pegeen Ryan-Murray (pjm15@duke.edu) to check on the completeness of your file.  If one or more of your referees is overseas or tardy, you may suggest that he or she first fax a copy of their reference before mailing the original to Duke.  This will insure that the letter will be available for the campus interview committee.  Referees and language evaluators should fax materials to: (919) 681-7059.  Please note that your referees must send all originals to Duke by the Fulbright National Deadline.  When they arrive, Duke will replace fax copies in your file with the originals.
