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. -

SERVICE of WORSHIP Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost BRIDGING FAITH & LEARNING Sunday, August 23, 2020, 11:00 A.M
SERVICE OF WORSHIP Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost BRIDGING FAITH & LEARNING Sunday, August 23, 2020, 11:00 a.m. Detail, Duke Chapel Tower Les Todd, Duke Photography, 2013 In the Old Testament lesson from Isaiah, the prophet calls the people to turn to the Lord as they look for deliverance and salvation. He reminds them that the Lord provides comfort, hope, and the light of justice among the nations. In Matthew’s Gospel, Peter makes the declaration of faith that Jesus is the long-awaited messiah. Jesus affirms his faith by proclaiming that Peter will be the rock on which the church will be founded. The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Rome reminding them of the transforming work of God in and among them. He encourages the community of faith to present their bodies as living sacrifices as their spiritual worship. As we look to proclaim faith in Jesus the Messiah, we too are called to give our bodies to the Lord in acts of worship.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. -

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. -

General Information
General Information 8 General Information Duke University In 1839 a group of citizens from Randolph and adjacent counties in North Carolina assembled in a log schoolhouse to organize support for a local academy founded a few months earlier by Brantley York. Prompted, they said, by “no small share of philanthropy and patriotism,” they espoused their belief that “ignorance and error are the banes not only of religious but also civil society which rear up an almost impregnable wall between man and happiness.” Union Institute, which they then founded, was reorganized first in 1851 as Normal College to train teachers, and eight years later as Trinity College, a liberal arts college, which later moved to the growing city of Durham, North Carolina. With the establishment of the James B. Duke Indenture of Trust in 1924, Trinity College became Duke University. Today, Duke is a two-campus institution with a student body of about 11,000, of whom 5,000 are enrolled in the graduate and professional programs. Established in 1969, The Fuqua School of Business joined the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Law, Engineering, Divinity, and the Nicholas School of the Environment in preparing qualified individuals for professional leadership and developing excellence in education for the professions. The Campus. The main campus (West) of Duke University is a beautifully designed complex of buildings in Gothic architecture, bordered on the east by the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and on the west by the 8,000-acre Duke Forest. This campus is dominated by the Duke Chapel, whose 210-foot-high tower houses a 50-bell carillon. -
