We are deeply grateful and humbled by the generous donation people make for the purpose of educating our present and future medical professionals. Our students include, but are not limited to, medical students, physical therapy students, physician assistant students, practicing medical doctors, plastic reconstructive surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, medical researchers and evolutionary anthropologists. Body donation plays a critical role in helping our students master the complex anatomy of the human body. Our process starts at the time of death. We provide donor cards for potential donors. The cards inform loved ones and doctors of the intent to donate to Duke School of Medicine and provide our contact information. There is no registration. We keep no records before death occurs. We screen donors after death occurs based on criteria and other conditions occurring prior to, and at the time of death. Our purpose is to serve medical education We do not facilitate brain donation or organ donation. and support donor families People who wish to donate their bodies for specific through the donation process study of a disorder or disease need to find researchers working on that particular issue and arrange body We do provide cremation after course donation with them, as research projects have specific studies are complete, but we are not a criteria and often have narrow windows of acceptance. mortuary or funeral home.

  • Making a Difference: the Strategic Plan for Duke University
    Making a Difference: The Strategic Plan for Duke University September 14, 2006 The Mission of Duke University James B. Duke’s founding Indenture of Duke University directed the members of the University to “provide real leadership in the educational world” by choosing individuals of “outstanding character, ability and vision" to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty; by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our wisdom, and promote human happiness." To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate students, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high ethical standards and full participation as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the learned professions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who suffer, cure disease, and promote health, through sophisticated medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power of information technologies; and to promote a deep appreciation for the range of human difference and potential, a sense of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to learning, freedom and truth.

  • XIII. Supplemental Information (PDF)
    Annual Budget Process The City of Durham’s annual budget process is the framework for communicating major financial operational objectives and for allocating resources to achieve them. This process is a complex undertaking involving the whole government. The process begins in October and runs until the end of June. By state law, the City must adopt an annual budget ordinance by June 30 of each year. Coordination of the process is essential to the building of the budget. To achieve coordination, a calendar of activities is summarized on this page. Once the budget is approved, the focus of the budget becomes control. Ongoing monitoring of expenditures and revenues throughout the year is a responsibility shared by department heads and the Budget Department. The Accounting Services Division ensures that changes are correctly entered and payments are appropriate. The Budget and Management Services Department reviews all requests from departments to make sure that sufficient appropriations have been budgeted. All funds are reviewed on a regular basis, and a budget report is submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any function. However, transfers between functions, additions or deletions require a budget amendment. To amend the budget, a revised budget ordinance must be approved by the City Council. January February March Department budgets submitted Coffees with Council continue. Budget kick-off.

The main part of campus - aside from the Duke Forest and other properties - is nearly 2000 acres, with approximately 500 acres of that being actively maintained. The large amount of tree coverage, road network, topography, and natural drainage system, along with extensive designed landscapes, athletic fi elds and gardens, makes the campus an incredibly rich and complex place. These guidelines are intended to be a resource for creating and maintaining a campus landscape with a certain level of consistency that exists across various precincts with specifi c contextual requirements. These guidelines will help to set the character for the different landscape types while also providing detailed recommendations and precedents for what has and has not worked on campus previously.

  • Camping out with the Crazies Duke Student Tells the Inside Story of Krzyzewskiville
    Camping Out with the Crazies Duke Student Tells the Inside Story of Krzyzewskiville Recent Duke University graduate Aaron Dinin has produced an entertaining, imaginative look at Krzyze- wskiville, the tent city named after Duke University’s head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski (Sha-shef- ski). A unique Duke tradition, Krzyzewskiville is used to determine which students are admitted into key games. Taking Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales as his model, Dinin has created characters who nar- rate their semi-fictionalized tales—by turns reverent, bawdy, and humorous—to enlighten readers about this cherished institution. So the story begins. On a wintry night in Durham, North Carolina, writes Dinin, twelve students huddle under the meager protection of a nylon tent. They have little in common except the sacrosanct tra- dition that has brought them together for the past month. Before the sun next sets, they will anoint them- selves in blue and white paint and enter nearby Cameron Indoor Stadium to worship at the altar of Blue Devil basketball. In the meantime, they abide in Krzyzewskiville. A stranger enters the tent, a respected sportswriter, and suggests that the tenters pass the hours un- til the next tent check by telling stories of Krzyzewskiville. Like Chaucer’s pilgrims, the students compete to tell the best tale. They report on ribald tenting exploits, relate a dream in which Duke basketball players and coaches test a fan’s loyalty, debate the rationality of tenting as a way of allocating students’ tickets, and describe the spontaneous tent city that sprang up one summer when their beloved “Coach K” was offered a job elsewhere.

Duke Gardens [6]; W. Duke, Sons and Company; [7]Private Education; [8]Private Higher Education [9] In December 1924, James B. Duke [10] provided the money for a new research university to be created in connection with Trinity College [2] in Durham [11]. The idea and plan, however, came from the president of Trinity,W illiam P. Few [12], who served for 15 years as Duke University [13]'s first president. Eager to see North Carolina and the South begin to catch up with other sections of the nation in the realm of higher education, Few had high ambitions for the university and, before he died in 1940, had the satisfaction of seeing some of them achieved. Recognizing the opportunity to establish a new, unique name for the institution, Few proposed that it be called Duke University, and James B. Duke agreed on condition that it be considered a memorial to his father and family. Through the Duke Endowment, James B. Duke provided not only long-term support for the new university but also approximately $19 million to construct an elaborate and extensive physical plant. The plan called for constructing 11 new buildings in the classical or Georgian style of architecture, both on the existing Trinity campus and on a new site a mile and a half away.
