Since its founding in 1878, Duquesne University has advocated for the health and economic
well-being of people and communities on the margins. The Accepted Student Day Hunger
Project-held in conjunction with U.S. Hunger-is a first for Duquesne and for a Pennsylvania
university.
The one-hour meal-packing sessions will be held at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at Duquesne's
UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse on Forbes Avenue.
The meal kits will be distributed to Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry Hazelwood, the
St. Paul Cathedral Parish Food Pantry and Holy Cross Evangelical Lutheran Church.
For the second consecutive year, Duquesne has drawn a record number of applications
from first-time college students. The University hosts Accepted Student Days to offer
an opportunity for accepted and committed first-time and transfer students to connect
with each other, meet members of the University community and explore campus.
