Faculty in Residence · July 2017 - May 2023 Other Blackwell Residence Hall Professor Charbonneau and his family lived in a first-year residence hall on East Campus for many years. During that time, his signature weekly chocolate fondue gatherings have served as a focal point for many of his neighbors and guests. This series has even warranted him a 2023 award from Duke Housing and Residence Life.
