The School opened in the fall of 1970, the last of the schools James B. Duke requested that the University include. In 1980, John Brooks Fuqua, Atlanta entrepreneur and philanthropist, endowed the school with $10 million and it was renamed in his honor. Deans have been Louis D. Volpp, 1970-1973; Danny Laughhun, 1973-1974; Tom Keller, 1974-1995; Rex Adams, 1995-2001; Douglas Breeden, 2001-2007; and Blair Sheppard, 2007-
