Dean's Message
Dear Sanford Alumni and Friends:
On behalf of all of us at the Sanford School of Public Policy, I send best wishes to our community and friends in 2022. Despite the uncertainty and challenges we are all continuing to experience, the new year brings hope and opportunity.
First, Sanford continues to mark 50 years of public policy education and scholarship at Duke. This summer, we will congratulate graduating students, welcome new students, orient new faculty and launch our executive Master of National Security Policy program.
Sanford continues to look forward – with the knowledge that we have overcome many challenges in 50 years and will continue to face challenges head on.
