Dean's Message
Dear Alumni and Friends:
During our 50th year of public policy at Duke, our world is facing many challenges: threats to democracy, the invasion of Ukraine, racial injustice, the ongoing pandemic and more.
In my recent dean’s post, I noted that today requires analysis and action, and deep care for one another, now more than ever. Sanford embodies this spirit. When the Ukraine invasion began, Sanford faculty provided important context and insights related to this crisis. We are continuing to share valuable information and updates at this link.
Sanford sends support to our community and world.
Warmly,
