The Duquesne University Alumni Association recognizes both outstanding young alumni through the Dukes from the Last Decade awards and exceptional achievements of our notable graduates with the Century Club.

The Century Club was established in 1978 in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the University’s founding. Outside of an honorary degree, this award remains the highest honor any alumnus or alumna may receive from Duquesne.

Dukes of the Last Decade recognizes graduates of the past 10 years who exemplify the mission of the University in their daily lives.
