David Iuvara really cares about people—and games.

Working with other students, his group collectively raised more than $6,000 during his four years of high school. Joining the effort at Duquesne, David and his fellow table top gamers collected more than $8,000 in donations last fall and are planning for an even larger event in fall 2024. The money helps families offset uncompensated health care costs, funds hospital research and training and is used to purchase life-saving equipment.

The collaborative spirit of the effort from students is a reflection of Duquesne’s dedication to promoting equity and opportunity in the region and beyond.

“We have humans living on the street who are in pain, but we don’t treat them like humans,” he said, while working alongside fellow pharmacy students at Duquesne’s annual Health and Wellness Fair in downtown Pittsburgh. “I want to use what I learn here to do more than help people but rather make an impact on their lives.”
