Toward a Centennial

There’s not much more inspiring than 100 years of Duke impact. And with the help of alumni, donors, parents and friends, we’ve made this past fiscal year one of our best for the history books. 

We’ve ushered in our centennial celebrations with Duke’s largest single award—$100 million from The Duke Endowment to make a Duke education accessible to the best and brightest regardless of ability to pay. And, we’ve expanded the reach of our deepest priorities—a brand-new climate initiative, 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.
