I began utilizing DukesConnect to network with fellow Dukes and it's been so
much more than a social network for me, it's been a lifeline! Not only have I connected
with alumni and Career Center staff, but it's great for virtually networking during
these crazy times with events such as Coffee and Connections or Dining with Dukes.

When I participated on the DU Career Center's Career Road Trip to the Columbus
Blue Jackets, it helped me to take initiative on my own career in sports. We got the
chance to talk with Duquesne Alumni who have made it to the executive level of their
organization and learn first hand what it takes to get there.
