BKB Foundation Returns to Duke University

DURHAM, N.C. -- On February 20, six students from Charles Hart Middle School in Washington, D.C., visited Duke's campus via an overnight educational enrichment program provided by the Brian K. Betts Foundation (BKB). The BKB Foundation continues the legacy of Brian K. Betts, a passionate advocate for children's education, through its College Connection Program. BKB's College Connection Program brings middle school students from underprivileged communities on university visits to campuses across the East Coast.

This program is designed to inspire students to strive for excellence and to better appreciate the importance of education. This was the College Connections program's sixth visit to Duke.
