The Durham School Advisory Board, which is comprised of industry leaders, philanthropic donors, the School Director, the College of Engineering Dean, and the University Chancellor, oversees the approximately $30 million Durham Endowment for the benefit of the School. The Durham School Advisory Board meets on a quarterly basis to discuss and establish strategic plans for the School, funding opportunities, and initiatives for collaboration between the School, College, University, and Industry. The endowment proceeds have a significant impact on School operations as they have been allocated to support School staff positions, undergraduate scholarships, graduate assistantships, program innovations, and special initiatives.
