Duke University has about 13,000 undergraduate and graduate students and a world-class faculty helping to expand the frontiers of knowledge. The university has a strong commitment to applying knowledge in service to society, both near its North Carolina campus and around the world. Over the past two years, people across the Duke community have come together to plan our future. We call our new plan "Making a Difference" because that’s what our actions will do for the many people here and around the world whose lives will be touched by the work of this great school. Our plan looks beyond the traditional model of universities. That model, with its emphasis on specialization and tightly bounded disciplines, has served us well for more than a century, yielding intellectual breakthroughs in many fields. But its limits are increasingly clear for the challenges that lie ahead.
