What a great time we had at yesterday’s New Student Picnic Lunch!

This annual Orientation Week tradition gives our new students a chance to relax, have some fun, and get to know their future classmates. It also gives our faculty and staff a wonderful opportunity to connect with the newest members of the RSHS family.

We’re so excited to welcome our new students and can’t wait to see all they accomplish during their time with us!

This week we hosted our annual Health Sciences Exploration Day, welcoming students from our community partners, Crossroads Foundation and Abiding Missions, to campus! Throughout the day, students participated in hands-on activities, explored a variety of allied health careers, and discovered the many opportunities and career paths in the health sciences.

A special thank you to our outstanding faculty, staff, and student ambassadors for sharing their time, expertise, and passion throughout the day. Our visiting student scholars had the opportunity to connect and experience what it's like to be part of the Duquesne community.

Thank you again for spending the day with us. We can't wait to see where your journey in healthcare takes you!

Welcome to the Rangos family! 💙❤️

A white coat is more than a uniform. It’s a symbol of dedication, compassion, and the responsibility to care for others.

We proudly celebrated our Physician Assistant Studies students as they received their white coats and marked an important milestone on their path to becoming healthcare professionals.

Congratulations to our future PAs! We are excited to see all that you will accomplish as you continue your journey toward making a difference in the lives of your patients and communities.

You asked for it...more Crosby content!

After a challenging week of exams, Crosby stepped in to host his highly anticipated review session, "Kinesiology with Crosby." Between sharing cuddles, good vibes, and a little extra motivation, he helped our PT students power through exam week.

Thank you, Professor Crosby, for always being there to support our hardworking students. We think you've earned an A+!
