Through environmental research, a sustainability-infused business curriculum and community involvement, Duquesne serves as a laboratory where experiments and discoveries produce a better future for generations to come.

Sustainability is intrinsic to Duquesne University’s mission — a charge that encompasses what our Spiritan sponsors call the “integrity of creation,” a profound respect for God’s gift of the world. One of the many ways that the University advances this mission is through responsible stewardship of natural resources.

Duquesne’s progressive efforts to achieve, maintain and advance high environmental standards began decades ago. We remain committed to sustainable principles in the ongoing management and development of our campus.

Supporting Campus Community Collaboration

Duquesne will be a host to the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) conference October 9-12, 2011, in Pittsburgh. The conference will focus on the impact of campus and community collaboration.
