Dear Sanford Alumni and Friends,
On behalf of the Development and Alumni Relations team, Happy Spring! Next month marks my one-year anniversary as the Associate Director of Alumni Relations here at Sanford and I continue to be filled with gratitude as I reflect on the thoughtfulness of you, our alumni, and the intentionality that fills these hallways and beyond. We are a community of leaders who strive to create positive change and I am thankful to be a part of our collective movement of change.

Our alumni program is flourishing – we are growing not only in numbers, but in planting seeds of change. Our alumni are creating service opportunities in their communities, coming back to campus to engage with students, networking within their region, and continuing to transform policy. It is inspiring to see your many and varied ideas and priorities blossom into action. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with you through #DogDaysOfSummer, Sanford Serves, regional events, and sharing virtual cups of coffee. It is inspiring to see engagement come to action, while realizing we all define engagement differently. To me, engagement is a commitment to be involved – leaning on your unique gifts and your skills. Coming to the table with an openness to lean in, define your why, and go with purpose.
What does engagement with Duke Sanford mean to you? What do you hope we change in the next few years that will change Duke’s next 100 years? I look forward to connecting with each of you as we move Sanford forward together.
Maggie Stroud
Associate Director of Alumni Relations
