Student Testimonial

Pictured is Discover Education student Bridget Palmer on campus

One of Duquesne’s best support systems is its success coaches. My success coach has helped me try to figure out my path, how to get there and most importantly how to enjoy getting there. They are here for more than just scheduling your classes, but also to make sure you are enjoying what you do every day!
