According to the Herald Sun, E.K. Powe Elementary School will honor John F. Burness, who is retiring June 30 from his post as Duke's senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, by naming the school's science center for him.
A naming ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. today at Powe. Durham Public Schools Superintendent Carl Harris and E.K. Powe science teacher Treva Fitts will speak at the event, along with several students.
The naming will honor Burness for his leadership in building a strong partnership between Duke and the Durham Public Schools. Burness led a campaign that raised nearly $270,000 for the science center, which opened in 2001.
