Duquesne University has been named one of the best colleges for veterans by the Military
Times Best for Vets: Colleges ranking. The university, which was also named a Top
10 Military Friendly School, works to help veterans find the right educational path
by offering academic guidance and resources to assist them in meeting their bigger
goals.
Mr. B helped us reserve spaces on campus for various events and was able to get
us funding so we could do fun things like have pizza with the Duquesne University
police officers and a reception following our commission ceremony.
Mr. Boissonnault was always eager to assist cadets or student veterans with anything
they need. Each year, he organized veterans breakfasts where I was able to make new
connections with people who gave amazing advice to me about the military and ways
to advance my education.
When I graduate, I will be a nurse in the military. I've always just wanted to
be a part of something bigger. I feel like the Army is the biggest you can get to
be a part of. A team that's working towards a common goal and that's what I really
want to do.
The veteran community at Duquesne felt like a close-knit family, where everyone
knew each other and readily provided support for academic success and campus life
adjustment. This camaraderie eased my university transition significantly.
