We strive to understand and support the selected priorities of four schools — helping them learn from each other as they contribute to the higher education sector. The longterm goal is advancing high-value education for students. We support the four institutions named in Mr. Duke’s Indenture of Trust: Davidson College, Duke University, Furman University and Johnson C. Smith University.
