<p>I love how Duke is always moving forward and innovating!</p>
<p>Love this! Duke has always been fortunate enough to receive generous donations from grateful alums (and their parents). Last year, Duke received 3 of the 50 largest donations made in the country according to the ‘Chronicle of Philanthropy’ (more than any other non profit institution!).</p>

<p>I think one of the main reasons I’ve started to look at Duke as a school I’d be happy/lucky to go is because of how proud alums are to be blue devils!</p>
