Duquesne alumni were the standout teachers. They connected to students on a personal level and had great leadership qualities. As a future teacher, I always consider the different strategies they use that I can incorporate in how I teach. That keeps me engaged.

Every professor I have is for us and cares about our education. They want to make sure we’re comfortable in class and want to know what they can do to help us.

Having an impact on the kids was incredible. Without teachers and these kids, you don’t have any other profession. You teach them to become doctors, lawyers, chemists or whatever else they want to become.

The STEM-based opportunities at Duquesne offer new and exciting challenges that will increase my knowledge of medicine and serve me well when I enter medical school.

The faculty made me feel so welcomed. They were all very passionate about health care and their classes and talked about networking and extracurricular activities, too. The University really prepares students to excel in their careers and make meaningful contributions to society.

I realized that I had some medical knowledge, but I didn't have that critical nursing foundation. Now? I feel prepared. I'm definitely different in ways I didn't expect. I feel a lot more confident now, and I actually understand why things happen.

It seems like I’ve done a lot in a year, but it’s been a lot of good stuff in that time. I feel like I just got here.

What’s really great about swimming is you're so busy that you have to be good at time management, and I am very lucky to have a lot of resources here at Duquesne.
