The Duquesne University School of Pharmacy boasts over 5,200 alumni now serving as
community and workplace leaders across the United States and throughout the world
at community and hospital pharmacy settings, with major pharmaceutical companies,
in academic and research institutions and alternative practice areas.
Duquesne University School of Pharmacy alumni give back in a variety of ways as a
vital aspect of ongoing professional commitment to pharmacy. In addition, many members
actively engage in campus events and activities, including serving as guest speakers
or mentors for the next generation of pharmacy leaders.
The Pharmacy Alumni Association encourages all graduates to consider joining and always
seeks new members. A close relationship between the Alumni Association and the administration,
faculty, and students of the Duquesne University School of Pharmacy directly impacts
in the success of the Duquesne University School of Pharmacy. The Pharmacy Alumni
Association sponsors many social and continuing pharmacy education (CPE) activities
throughout the year, including the Annual Alumni Conference, one of the largest venues
for earning valuable continuing education credits, networking, and reuniting with
old and making new friends.
The School of Pharmacy wants alumni to keep in touch by sending updates through the
online alumni community. The online alumni community provides a forum to connect with
former classmates, stay current with School of Pharmacy news, and learn about all
upcoming events.

Duquesne allowed me to create my own journey. I was never pressured to follow
one specific pathway by any of my mentors or fellow classmates. I was told it was
important to be myself. To reflect on decisions that led to positive outcomes, but
to understand negative results will also exist. The importance of growing from those
moments, molding who you become as a pharmacist.
