2026 Spring Edition: Message from the Dean
At the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business, the Business of Difference Making® is not merely a motto but the guiding principle of our work.
Our students, faculty, and alumni consistently translate classroom instruction into measurable impact through course-embedded projects, academic competitions, and industry-sponsored challenges that place students in direct collaboration with business leaders. Our faculty bring real-world insight into the classroom, guiding students through experiential opportunities that cultivate confidence, creativity, and the professional competencies essential for leadership.
Strategic corporate partnerships, networking events, academic competitions, and conferences further reinforce these links—bringing practicing professionals into our classrooms and expanding access to internships and career pathways.
Collectively, these experiences embody what distinguishes Duquesne Business: a community steadfast in its commitment to preparing students for successful careers and lives of purpose.
