What a Difference a Year Makes
It hasn’t been just another year at Duke. With the help of alumni, donors, parents and friends, we’ve made this year our best Duke year yet—to the tune of more than $100 million for financial aid, a brand-new climate initiative to better our world, world-class faculty research, alumni and student programming that is preparing our Blue Devils to be the leaders the world needs right now, and so much more.
Read on to learn about our most inspiring stories of the year, and thank you for all you do for Duke.
