That is the poster child for a basketball program catapaulting a relatively obscure university into a national name.

Butler, if it can sustain its current success, will find itself in the same position.

I truly believe Duquesne has some excellent programs, primarily in the sciences but not many know about it. Iak a question a few days ago that may have been lost in the shuffle....Does Duquesne have an active network of alumni clubs around the country? (NT) -- TMH, Wednesday, July 14, 06:36:59pm
- I really need to proofread more before hitting the send button. I apologize for my typos...I really can spell :-) (NT) -- TMH, Wednesday, July 14, 06:38:34pm
  - The alumni groups come and go sometimes. One of the posters on this board has created a NY-area alumni group that is pretty active (DC, you should chime in). (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, July 14, 06:45:48pm
    - That is very problematic El Duque. The University needs to actively engage the alumni, particularly those outside Pittsburgh. The Lehigh Valley should absolutely have one. They should be organizing bus trips to games in Philadelphia and AC, viewing parties for televised games and then use the members to promote Duquense in this area. The same is true for NY, MD, DC, and any other area where there is an accumulation of alumni. (NT) -- TMH, Wednesday, July 14, 08:36:37pm
      - TMH, the Alumni Relations department has done a very good job of scheduling events around Duquesne basketball games. I know several people who have attended their events during the A-10 tourney in Atlantic City. In addition, Alumni Relations has held events in Philly, DC, Cincinnati, etc. tied around BB games in those areas. In fact, I think I recall that they had an event in Chicago for the women's NIT game against Northwestern last year. I'm pretty sure that the Beef and Beer events at the Palumbo are Alumni Relations events and not Athletic Dept. events. (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Sunday, July 18, 07:59:12pm
- Here is info right from DU's Alumni website: Alumni may participate in (or organize) a regional alumni chapter. Members organize activities and events to keep in touch with alumni in their geographic area & further the mission of the University. An alumni leader serves as the official chapter liaison to the Alumni Relations Office. Current chapters include Charlotte, Cleveland, Philadelphia & Wash., D.C.
