4 Duke has long recognized that we cannot be a great university without being an international university. … We operate in an interdependent world, where what were once hard and fast borders are now permeable, where individuals are part of an increasingly global community, and where problems transcend traditional boundaries Duke University strategic plan “Making a Difference” 2006

5 “Building on the best of Chinese and Western traditions, DKU will draw the brightest students from China, the U.S., and other countries and train them to be constructive contributors to their world. DKU will train students who will be hard working, inquisitive, versatile, innovative, and eager to use their intelligence for the social good. We will train creative problem solvers for all the needs of the world. And we will train students with global perspective and imagination.” Duke University President Richard H.
