SERVICE-LEARNING

Look at photos and read testimonials from ORBIS students to see how their experience outside the classroom complements what they're doing in class.

LIVING

ORBIS resident students will live on the exciting new Global Diversity floor in Towers Living-Learning Center, along with students in NARRATIO and a number of Duquesne's international students. ORBIS students don't need to apply to live on the Global Diversity floor; all ORBIS students who live on campus get on without having to apply.
