Office of Durham and Regional Affairs
The Office of Durham and Regional Affairs coordinates Duke's relations with Durham and the Research Triangle region, including but not limited to local government, the Research Triangle Park, Durham public schools, and area colleges and universities.
The Office oversees the activities of the Office of Community Affairs and its Duke Durham Neighborhood Partnership. In addition to supporting the activities of these offices, the staff works to strengthen partnerships with Durham to accelerate the economic renewal in downtown areas close to campus such as West Main Street, Brightleaf Square and the Ninth Street district.
They also work to develop regional partnerships in support of Duke’s strategic goals and to help assure future innovation and growth in the region.
