“Our honorees are recognized as international leaders in a diverse range of fields,” said President Vincent Price. “Their research has already had a significant impact on broader society, helping to improve lives and shape our understanding of the world.”

The honorees are the “successors of faculty leaders who helped define the university’s commitment to ethical scholarship, leadership and public service,” said Provost Sally Kornbluth, who noted that the tradition of designating distinguished professors dates back to Duke’s earliest days.
