Duke University's mission statement has not been amended for ten years. Its current strategic plan, Making a Difference: The Strategic Plan for Duke University, was produced in 2006. A series of executive summaries of departmental plans is part of the website and an appendix to the document. A link is also provided to a Duke resource on its campus planning.

Duke's plan is only one of about a thousand plans in Links From SCUP to College and University Plans, a Web-based resource for SCUP members. SCUP members can access the links in a sortable online spreadsheet that also includes useful data fields like Carnegie Class, Enrollment, FICE, Unit ID, and so forth.

 “Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part” - Proverb

“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now” - Alan Lakein

“Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.” - Thomas Alva Edison

“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.” - Peter F. Drucker

“When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.” - Chinese Proverb
