Hear from Recent Alumni
When I decided on music therapy, I found that Duquesne was one of the few schools
that offered it. I fell in love with the program. Opportunities are here when I want
to take them. Duquesne and Pittsburgh are flourishing.
My proudest accomplishment has been becoming a student leader at Duquesne. The
Center has connected me to new friends and led me to become greatly involved with
the Black Student Union on campus.
I'm a city girl at heart, and even though the campus isn't directly in the city,
I love how it's just a short walk if I want to see a hockey game or spend time downtown.
I wanted a change of scenery, and I thought Duquesne's location was perfect—the
ideal college campus right in the middle of a city. I also saw connecting with professors
to be critical in succeeding as a student, both academically and with networking.
Duquesne equipped me with the skills and resources to confidently enter the workforce
and seek opportunities that enrich my professional life. My time at Duquesne and in
Pittsburgh has shaped me into the person I am today.
