Duke University Chapel is recognizing Ruby Thompkins, manager of information services at Duke Police, with the Humanitarian Service Award for her efforts supporting education for African American boys in Durham. Duke Chapel gives the award each year to someone who demonstrates both a long-term commitment to serving others and a lifestyle marked by simplicity. Thompkins will be presented the award at a reception at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24, at Bovender Terrace, which is just outside from the Divinity School’s Zweli's Cafe.
