Studying puppies for science? Sign us (p)up. 🐶

At Duke, researchers are studying puppies (yes, actual puppies!) to understand how they think and which ones have what it takes to become service dogs.

See how science and compassion come together to support people with disabilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsDyFa7XS6Y&list=PLYZhPUaJyXIZ8CGbqe4xhEZdJBgWOiSd4&index=8

Life after cancer isn’t just possible, it’s beautiful.
On National Cancer Survivors Day, we're celebrating every moment that almost wasn’t.

Behind every survivor is a story worth knowing: https://today.duke.edu/research

Every voice. Every identity. Every Blue Devil belongs.

Looks like another world. Somehow still feels like home.

Today, we remember service members whose dedication to our country led to the ultimate sacrifice. We enjoy freedoms because of their willingness to serve others. We owe a debt of gratitude to our fallen and their families and honor the legacy they leave behind.

Today, we celebrated the legacy of Terry Sanford with a historical marker on campus. His great-grandson, Gus, unveiled the marker, while close colleagues from Sanford’s time at Duke gathered to honor him, including current Duke University president Vincent Price and David Price, former U.S. Congressman.

As governor of North Carolina, Sanford helped double funding for public schools and stood up for desegregation. As president of Duke, he helped the university grow into a world-class research institution and started what is now the Sanford School of Public Policy. He also served as a U.S. Senator and returned to Duke to teach and inspire future leaders.

What does it take to build a more sustainable future?

At Duke’s recent climate finance summit, experts from tech, policy, academia, and finance came together to explore practical ways to support clean energy solutions, strengthen infrastructure, and unlock innovation.

Forever Duke

Service is a team sport and Duke Athletics took it to heart. 💙

Student-athletes and staff spent a week giving back to Durham, partnering with local organizations to support youth, health, and food security across the city.

From the Emily Krzyzewski Center to Duke Campus Farm, their impact reached every corner of the community we’re proud to call home. https://today.duke.edu/2025/04/duke-athletics-returns-support-durham-community
