A massive $57 million gift from the Lamond family is set to supercharge Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering, right here in Durham. This isn’t just another donation—it’s funding a new chair in electrical and computer engineering, focusing on cutting-edge research in semiconductors and nanoelectronics. The department and chair will now carry Pierre Lamond’s name, honoring his legacy in the global tech industry. For students, faculty, and the wider community, this means more resources, more opportunities, and a bigger spotlight on Durham as a hub for tech breakthroughs. What do you think this could mean for the future of tech in our area? #Education #College #DukeUniversity
