Alumni Welcome 2025

Dear Sanford Alumni and Friends,

Happy New Year!  We are excited to share a remarkable milestone with you: the Sanford Board of Visitors  achieved 100% participation in gifts and pledges to the Sanford Annual Fund in the run up to the election - The Sanford School board was the first of Duke’s boards of visitors to achieve this. By reaching this important milestone early in the fiscal year, our goal was to signal our belief in the power of the Sanford School to make a lasting impact.

To all who have supported the Sanford Annual Fund, thank you! Your generosity fuels our ability to create opportunities for students, support innovative research, and advance the Sanford mission to educate the next generation of leaders. Together, our contributions make a tangible difference. Thank you for your support.

As we look ahead, we hope you will take advantage of opportunities to connect with Sanford this winter and spring. The Memo includes a number of planned events and initiatives – we would love to have you join us and encourage you to invite a friend! Whether it’s through campus visits, virtual gatherings, or regional alumni events, there are so many ways to stay engaged.

The Sanford School remains strong because of alumni and friends like you who connect, engage, and grow with us. We hope to see you soon and look forward to continuing to build on the energy, enthusiasm, and support you bring to our community.

With gratitude and warm regards,
