Innovation and Creation in Action

Whatever your creativity or research ambitions, we have the breadth and depth to make the most of them. We want you to become the kind of problem-solver who always thinks bigger—and whose ingenuity is driven by compassion and empathy. We feel fortunate to be entrusted with your goals and we want to encourage and nurture Duquesne faculty, staff and students' innovative thinking and entrepreneurship spirit. We are dedicated to help anyone seeking to make a difference in society by pursuing their innovations and creations.
