How can I get in touch with other Duquesne graduates?
Duquesne hosts an Online Community called MyDuquesne. As a graduate, you can search for former classmates easier than ever before. This electronic "home," exclusively for DU alumni, enables you to locate friends in a fun, easy way and provides other benefits as well, including permanent e-mail forwarding. If, for some reason, you cannot locate someone through this method, you still have the option of using our Contact Form.
Duquesne respects the privacy of its alumni. Some individuals may not wish to disclose information through the Online Community or respond to contact attempts.
