Global Health is a Focus of $3.25B 'Duke Forward' Campaign 

 

Duke officials on Saturday announced the launch of a $3.25 billion fundraising campaign whose strategic goals include enriching the Duke experience, activating Duke's power for the world and sustaining the university's momentum. Global health is one of the highlighted areas for activating Duke's power for the world. Through the campaign, Duke seeks to extend the capacity of the Duke Global Health Institute to address global health challenges by adding faculty across the university and Duke Medicine, increasing its number of international partners and sites, bolstering its cross-campus research collaborations and expanding educational opportunities for students and medical residents. By investing in the people and programs that can move the world forward, alumni and friends can elevate Duke's role as a world-recognized leader in global health.
