A Letter From Nina King.

Vice President and Director of Athletics

For Duke Athletics and Duke’s student-athletes being a Blue Devil is about more than just a game. It is about the friendships made, lessons learned, experiences had, and the beginning of a lifelong path toward growth and success. Being a Blue Devil is about striving to be the very best you can be in all aspects of life.

The vibrant culture of philanthropy that enables Duke Athletics to provide a world-class experience to all those who are part of the Blue Devil family is vital to the sustained success of the university and every Duke student-athlete. Your decision to donate to the Iron Dukes makes a direct, meaningful, and lasting impact both now and in the future.

Thank you for helping Duke Athletics set a standard of success that serves to enhance Duke University’s excellence and strengthens our entire Blue Devil community.
