Dear Sanford Alumni and Friends,
What a privilege to offer you tidings from Sanford’s Board of Visitors. We are a group of Duke alumni and friends who treasure our education. While we share common academic roots, our careers have branched out broadly. We are advisors, leaders, analysts, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and more. We work in industry, for non-profits, in government and for ourselves. We have relatives who graduated from Duke, were the first in our family to attend college, or simply appreciate this amazing institution.
|
| |
|
We come together every few months and show this love by studying our school’s past, considering anticipated challenges and potential opportunities that students, administrators, and professors may confront, and offering whatever strategic insights or guidance our professional experiences allow. Engaging with Sanford presents an often thrilling, uniformly gratifying way to give back.
