Last year, Duke University enjoyed its latest string of triumphs—from seeing two more Duke undergraduates win prestigious Rhodes Scholarships, to having the sharpest rise in NIH funding among top medical schools, to becoming one of only five American universities ever to raise $2 billion in a single fundraising campaign.

The achievements were remarkable, but not unexpected: They grew from goals set by by Duke's president, Nannerl O. Keohane, when she took office in 1993. Today, one decade later, we invite you to consider the highlights of 2002-2003 as steps in a longer journey along the path of progress and leadership that Duke University has been forging for ten years.
