Proceeds from the Dukes from the Last Decade Awards benefit programs of Duquesne University’s
Young Alumni Network. The Young Alumni Network (YAN) is a leadership organization
advocating for Duquesne’s diverse young alumni population with social, educational,
professional, and service-based programming. The word “alumni” comes from the Latin
root “alere” meaning “to nourish.” The YAN aims to nourish the lives of graduating
students and alumni of the last decade in a way that promotes diversity and inclusion,
professional excellence, service to their communities, and a commitment to ethical
and spiritual values. Presenting Sponsorship (one available): Herff Jones
