Duke University is determined to make a difference -- to apply its energies and intellectual resources to improve the lives of our students, our community, and people around the world. In 2006-2007, we mapped out a plan to achieve that ambitious goal. Making a Difference, Duke University’s new $1.3-billion, eight-year strategic plan, sets a course for building on our historic strengths in education and research while developing cross-campus collaborations and global connections that will enable the university to produce new knowledge in the service of society.

In this, our 2006-2007 Year in Review, you can read about some of the exciting things we’re already doing to reach our strategic goals. For a more detailed look at how Duke plans to make a difference, visit stratplan.duke.edu.
