OUR IMPACT
Sanford thrives at the intersection of campus, community, and global conversation. Our Centers are engines of collaboration—linking students, faculty, and partners across sectors to solve real-world problems. Through programs like POLIS, the Hart Leadership Program, and Duke in DC, our community engages directly with policymakers, thought leaders, and changemakers on the front lines.
We convene the conversations that matter—on democracy, technology, health, and climate—while giving students the tools to step in and lead. From local advocacy to national strategy, Sanford’s engagement model is built for relevance and results. With your partnership, we’ll expand our reach, deepen our impact, and shape policy that serves the public good—at Duke and far beyond.
