Duquesne University ESL Program

Starting today, you can pick up materials for the Kindness Rocks Project in front of the Center for Global Engagement! There will be a box under the doorbell, so make sure to stop by before joining us on Zoom Friday, September 25th to craft and create. Supplies will be first come, first serve! We'll be painting rocks with inspirational messages on them to spread kindness around campus and to your friends! Message us for Zoom info.

The International Student Services team at Duquesne understands that the new guidance regarding student immigration can be confusing. We are here to answer any questions or concerns regarding the new regulations and support you in these important decisions. Please visit our website to read more about the Immigration and Citizenship Enforcement (ICE) guidelines and how it will affect you, and of course, you can reach out to our staff members with any specific concerns.

“As a University founded by immigrants in order to provide education to immigrants here in Pittsburgh so they could advance themselves, we are committed to doing everything we can to help those students who have chosen Duquesne. We value their presence on our campus and in our programs, and we support their work and commitment to their studies. The new federal regulations raise serious concerns and will create challenges. We do believe we can overcome them for our international students. We have reached out to students to provide support and assistance, and because Duquesne will be operating this fall with a hybrid mix of in-person and remote instruction, it is likely most or all of our international students will be enrolled in in-person courses.”
-Dr. David Dausey, Provost and Executive VP for Academic Affairs
