A reunion celebration is only successful if your classmates return to celebrate with you. We need a strong group of volunteers for the committee willing to help create buzz leading up to the weekend. We have found that it is the personal communication between classmates that motivates alumni to return to campus. The committee holds a few virtual meetings, but otherwise, the commitment is in the outreach efforts. We also try to break up the outreach efforts by those you knew during your time at Duquesne. Would you be willing to join the committee to help reach out to your fellow classmates? If so, please fill out the Volunteer Form.

Join Committee
As part of the 50th Reunion, we will be compiling a 50th Reunion Memory Book that will be distributed at the Golden Dukes Luncheon. We hope you will share your memories for the book, even if you’re unable to attend the reunion.

You can participate by completing the online memory book form. Submissions are due no later than Friday, September 25. If you’re unable to attend, a copy of the 50th Reunion Memory Book will be mailed to all those who participate, following the weekend.

For more information, contact us at alumnionline@duq.edu.Share your memories
We are also asking class members to share photos of their time at Duquesne to be included in a special slideshow shown during the Golden Dukes Luncheon. Photos can be submitted online in an image format (with the highest resolution possible). Submissions are due no later than Friday, October 2.Submit your photos
