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’s a complicated machine made up mostly of fundamentally good people who are here to learn and grow, whether they’re students, staff or faculty.

Staff Editorial: NFL Draft week and its woes

With the upcoming NFL Draft bringing new attention to Pittsburgh, the city’s entire focus is on the incoming visitors.

Diva’s Desk: 3/26

Diva KC | layout editor Growing up in New York City, taking the bus or the subway was an integral part of my day.
