Event Recording: Our 2024 Annual Gathering, a Duke Centennial Celebration
|
On November 14, 2024, over two hundred new and longstanding community members celebrated and explored the Forest’s deep-rooted connection with Duke University. This year, we excitedly brought the event to campus as a Duke Centennial celebration.
Duke University President Vincent Price opened the event by discussing his personal connections to the Forest, emphasizing that it is distinctly Duke. Executive Director Sara Childs delivered an engaging historical presentation, followed by Dean Lori Bennear, who moderated a thought-provoking panel discussion about the Forest's future. The panel included Vice President and Vice Provost Toddi Steelman, Senior Lecturer Nicolette Cagle, and Sara Childs.
You can watch the recording on YouTube and find a detailed summary of the event in The Chronicle: "Community celebrates Duke Forest and shares a vision for the future at the Centennial event."
