We are looking forward to celebrating the reunions below during Homecoming and Family Weekend, October 10-11, 2025! In addition to the action-packed weekend for all alumni and friends, special events will be held for the groups listed below. We want to bring BIGGER groups, and are looking for alumni to serve as Reunion Ambassadors. These volunteers assist to plan ways that these groups can celebrate and also conduct outreach to encourage attendance throughout Homecoming and Family Weekend. Appropriate training and resources will be provided to all volunteers.

We’ve set aside a space for the Class of 1975 to meet and mingle with each other throughout the weekend. The lounge is located near the check-in tables and Starbucks. Be sure to stop by and say hello or arrange a time to relax and enjoy the company of your classmates.

In addition to the reunion events, we invite you to attend all of the events throughout Homecoming and Family Weekend. More information about the weekend's events will be posted on the Homecoming website as plans progress.

A reunion celebration is only successful if your classmates return to celebrate with you. We need a strong group of volunteers for the committee willing to help create buzz leading up to the weekend. We have found that it is the personal communication between classmates that motivates alumni to return to campus. The committee holds a few virtual meetings, but otherwise, the commitment is in the outreach efforts. We also try to break up the outreach efforts by those you knew during your time at Duquesne. Would you be willing to join the committee to help reach out to your fellow classmates? If so, please email us at alumnionline@duq.edu.

Reunion committee members also help us locate members of the class for whom we do not have contact information for.  If you have contact information for any classmates, please send the info to alumnionline@duq.edu.
As part of the 50th Reunion, we will be compiling a 50th Reunion Memory Book that will be distributed at the Golden Dukes Luncheon. We hope you will share your memories for the book, even if you’re unable to attend the reunion.

You can participate by completing the online memory book form, which will be posted soon. If you’re unable to attend, a copy of the 50th Reunion Memory Book will be mailed to all those who participate, following the weekend.

For more information, contact us at alumnionline@duq.edu.
We are also asking class members to share photos of their time at Duquesne to be included in a special slideshow shown during the Golden Dukes Luncheon. Photos can be submitted online in an image format (with the highest resolution possible).

Submit your photos

Be sure to connect with your classmates via a special Homecoming Group in DukesConnect prior to the reunion.
