Founders Week to Focus on ‘Faces of Courage’

The campus community is invited to be part of Duquesne’s annual Founders Week celebration from Saturday, Jan. 31, through Friday, Feb. 6.

Information about the events—which range from a Dukes basketball game to presentations by Spiritans, students and alumni, including Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe and her work in Uganda—can be accessed on DORI through Faces of Courage. Please remember to RSVP.

This year’s theme, Faces of Courage—in the spirit of founders Claude Poullart des Places and Francis Libermann—honors those who personify courage by overcoming odds, building a more just world or bringing joy to others. The events provide opportunity for both celebration and personal growth.
