The Future Alumni Association (FAA) offers a valuable opportunity to support several key University initiatives. It provides a platform for Duquesne University to highlight our “best and brightest” students at events attended by alumni, donors, and other important stakeholders. These groups are deeply invested in student success, and creating opportunities for them to engage with students helps strengthen their connection and commitment to the University. Being selected as an FAA member is a mark of honor, offering resume-building experiences as you represent Duquesne at prestigious events. Membership also opens the door to potential networking opportunities, rewarding your dedication and accomplishments.
