Duquesne Athletic Fund
Message from Duquesne University Athletic Director, Greg Amodio
Director of Athletics Duquesne's founding Spiritans fervently believed in "a strong mind in a strong body." The University has sponsored intercollegiate athletics since the 1890s. Over nearly 120 years, our Dukes have earned national respect and recognition in a wide variety of sports. Recently, the University has renewed and underscored its historic commitment to varsity athletics. More than $2 million in renovations have been made to the Palumbo Center. Major improvements are underway at Rooney Field. The football program has joined the competitive Northeast Conference and adopted a limited scholarship model. These and other substantial investments in facilities, personnel and marketing are already paying dividends. Higher caliber student-athletes are considering and committing to Duquesne in larger numbers. Our 20 teams are rising in their conference rankings, while our nearly 500 players maintain their longstanding dominance in academic performance. Still, the costs of providing students with first-rate athletic and academic opportunities continue to increase. For Duquesne to reach its full potential in all of its Division I sports, the University's increased commitment must be matched by greater support from our alumni and friends. The Duquesne Athletic Fund exists to meet this critical need. The Duquesne Athletic Fund ensures that our student-athletes have the financial resources they need to prepare and perform at the highest level--on the fields and courts and in the classroom. While your gifts make a difference on the scoreboards and in the standings, they also touch and change each one of our student-athletes, who emerge as better teammates and stronger leaders in their personal lives and professional careers. For generations, alumni, friends and fans like you have generously supported Duquesne athletics. Now, we are pleased to introduce an enhanced benefits structure that recognizes higher levels of giving and their increased impact on our student-athletes. As always, your contribution--in any amount--advances the Dukes' historic legacy. Please help us build on our great tradition. Make your Duquesne Athletic Fund gift today!
