The Duke, Tikkun Olam and why Duquesne matters to me

Eliyahu Gasson | editor-in-chief  I see Duquesne University as I do any other thing.

It was in a class about the Catholic Church … Continue reading The Duke, Tikkun Olam and why Duquesne matters to me

It was one of the first nights winter began to shed its snow-coat. The air smelled of the idea of spring. It was the Tuesday before our special 100th anniversary paper and the … Continue reading My first sig-out: layout editor says goodbye to The Duke

Hard news and an even harder goodbye

Megan Trotter | news editor I found myself face-to-face with Bob Woodward, a pillar of investigative reporting while covering the 50th anniversary of the Watergate scandal’s “Saturday Night Massacre” in Washington, D.C., last year. Standing in the halls of The National Press Club, suit jacket slightly too tight under my arms and sweat dripping down my face, I knew I had about 10 seconds to … Continue reading Hard news and an even harder goodbye

With all my heart, farewell: Editor graduates

Emily Fritz | a&e editor Sometimes, you have to do the brave thing anyway. For me, that meant overcommitting my first week at Duquesne. I was a transfer student, and I felt wildly out of place during freshman orientation. I wanted to be involved, and I didn’t want to be awkward about it. I walked up to the most familiar group during the activities expo: … Continue reading With all my heart, farewell: Editor graduates

Farewell Duq: My last trip to Starbucks

Merecedes Williams | staff columnist Dec. 2, 2021 There’s no sweet aroma of baked goods or pungent smells of brewing coffee, but the Starbucks on Duquesne University’s campus draws the most exhausting line. The line represents a multitude of things. For me, my presence in the line everyday Monday through Thursday is a privilege.

A&E Editor says final farewell to Duquesne

By Sean Ray | A&E Editor It hurts to write this. Growing up, I never liked change and still don’t really. Anytime we moved houses, I complained loudly. Heck, I got annoyed when furniture got mixed around. Eventually I learned to cope, but it didn’t make things any less difficult. My time with The Duke has been some of the happiest moments of my life. … Continue reading A&E Editor says final farewell to Duquesne
