In the fifteen years since Greg Dees and Beth Anderson founded CASE, the center has educated thousands of students and worked with thousands of nonprofits, for-profits, government agencies, funders, impact investors, and researchers to develop and share best practices and tools.
For its Fall 2017 edition, Duke Magazine dedicated its insert to the work of our award-winning center, highlighting stories and reflections from current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and other industry thought leaders. Take a look at this eight-page feature to learn interesting facts such as:
