Students and alumni often indicate that their Duquesne University degree assists them in enhancing their skills in their current position as well as obtaining new careers. Pamela Hoebeck is one such alum:
Pamela recently accepted a position as a regional sales manager for Proctor & Gamble and celebrated her birthday at the same time. She attributes landing her "dream job" to the degree she received at Duquesne. "It was the best birthday present I could have received. During the interview, the vice president was very impressed with my degree from Duquesne and even commented on Duquesne's excellent reputation. I am certain that I wouldn't have gotten the job with out my degree."
