Duke Deans To Discuss 'What Would You Do With $100 Million?"

January 29, 2008

DURHAM, N.C. -- “What would you do with $100 million?” is the topic of a discussion with Duke Chapel Dean Sam Wells and Nicholas School of the Environment Dean William Chameides on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at Duke University.

This Deans' Dialogue event takes place at Love Auditorium in the Levine Science Research Center. The 5:15 p.m. discussion is free and open to the public and will include time for audience members to ask questions.

In these dialogues, Wells discusses topics surrounding how to promote the common good with deans from various schools at Duke.

“The Deans' Dialogues provide critical space to speak about the most important issue a university faces: How do we use our resources to make the world a better place?” said series organizer Gaston Warner, director of University and Community Relations. “On the topic of the environment, we must face the issue of how to be faithful stewards of the very world we are striving to improve.”

Past dialogues in this series have included discussions with Divinity School Dean Greg Jones and Fuqua School of Business Dean Blair Sheppard. Podcasts of these discussions are available at Duke Chapel’s iTunes U page and the Chapel website: http://www.chapel.duke.edu/media/podcasts.aspx.
