DURHAM - Duke's Athletic Facilities, Game Operations, Championships and Events (AFGO) department has been honored as a 2021-22 Duke Presidential Award winner.
The AFGO team of 11 was central to the planning and execution of the COVID-19 safety protocols that protected student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans. They supplied and administered more than 150,000 COVID-19 tests to staff, coaches and student-athletes. They also oversaw the roughly 200 varsity athletic game days and 50 campus and outdoor events which occurred in 2021.
"The AFGO department's work ethic, desire to serve, and ability to troubleshoot issues are testaments to the character of the department," Vice President and Director of Athletics Nina King said in the nomination.
