The seven-year, university-wide Duke Forward campaign ends on June 30th and – thanks to donors like you – the Nicholas School is closing in on our $100 million campaign goal. Recently, we kicked off a $25 million financial aid initiative Forging Future Leaders Together that will extend beyond the campaign’s end, and many of you quickly responded with your support for this important effort to increase access and opportunity for deserving students. (We even received an anonymous gift of $1 million to get things rolling!) Increasing our pool of scholarships and fellowships is essential to ensure that the best and the brightest can attend the Nicholas School and leave with manageable debt so they can focus on making a difference for our planet and its inhabitants.
In the final months of Duke Forward, our goal is participation, as we continue to show our university colleagues that the Nicholas School community is the strongest and most generous on campus. If you are able to provide additional support for financial aid, Annual Fund, or to another area that interests you – or if you know of someone who might be willing to help – we would greatly appreciate your assistance in the coming weeks. Please give Kevin McCarthy, associate dean for development and alumni relations, a call at 919-613-8003, email him at kevin.p.mccarthy@duke.edu or donate online.
