Community Update
Many have asked how they can help the School of Nursing during the COVID-19 crisis. Never has the need for unrestricted gifts to the School of Nursing Annual Fund been more urgent, nor has the potential for tangible, immediate impact been greater. As our students grapple with unanticipated expenses, such as food insecurity, temporary housing costs, lost employment, and technology for online learning, they will rely heavily on the support we offer. Thank you for supporting the Duke University School of Nursing during this global pandemic. Together we will ensure that the nursing pipeline remains strong and patients continue to have access to quality nursing care.
For additional ways to help during this difficult time, please visit Duke Health’s COVID-19 Response Fund and Other Ways to Help, or Duke University’s Assisting Students at Duke, and the Duke-Durham Fund.
