Office of the President

For nearly 150 years, Duquesne University’s mission has inspired us to serve God by serving students, so they in turn may serve others. The service of generations of entrepreneurs, lawyers, nurses, teachers, scientists, scholars, musicians and other professionals has helped build our home city of Pittsburgh and deliver good for the greater world.

In November 2025, Duquesne University Board Chair Diane Hupp announced that Dr. David Dausey, executive vice president and provost at Duquesne, was selected to be the University’s 14th President. His term will begin on July 1, 2026.

A transformative academic leader and an internationally recognized epidemiologist, Dr. Dausey has championed initiatives that have expanded the University’s academic reach—launching new schools, departments, programs and institutes, including the Nasuti College of Osteopathic Medicine and a revitalized portfolio of engineering programs. 

There’s a sense of optimism across campus about this new chapter—one defined by meaningful partnerships and a deep commitment to the students and the enduring mission that make Duquesne University extraordinary.
