Each year, an individual Duquesne University student emits approximately 4.8 tons of CO2, which is equal to 9,600 pounds or the weight of an average female elephant. This figure, which came from the 2006 Greenhouse Gas Inventory conducted by the Center for Environmental Research [CERE], may seem rather high; ... "Duquesne's emissions are relatively low, compared to similar institutions," said Duquesne's Evergreen President Amy Boots.

The Duquesne University class ring was first adopted in the 1920s, the same decade as the seal and alma mater. The first incarnation was approved by a 1925 student committee, and was an "octagonal deep blue stone held in place by four corner prongs."[9] Two years later, another student committee replaced the blue stone with a synthetic ruby. The ring's design continued to evolve until 1936, as the prongs were replaced with a continuous metal bezel. The words "Duquesne," "University," and "Pittsburgh," accompanied the graduation year around the four sides of the bezel, and the shank on both sides was decorated with a motif adapted from the university’s coat of arms. Originally an option, the embossed gold Gothic initial "D" became standard in the late 1930s. The Duquesne alumni website notes, "The golden initial, oversized stone and octagonal shape make the Duquesne ring stand out from those of other colleges and universities."[9]

At the beginning of the fall semester of 1997 Duquesne University opened a brand new Commuter Center. Located on the first floor of the Duquesne Union, the Center provides a great deal of space and several services for Duquesne's commuting population. The Commuter Center is just one example of Duquesne's continuing commitment to commuter students.

The stirring up of the Holy Spirit, which directly initiated the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church, occurred on the campus of Duquesne University in 1967. Students and faculty who were on retreat one weekend, simultaneously felt called in the middle of the night to enter the chapel and they began praising and worshiping. The Holy Spirit unleashed His gifts that night in a profound way. The greater awareness of the Holy Spirit and the new movement quickly spread throughout the nation and to different countries around the world.
