As cultural ambassadors, current Duquesne students volunteer their time to help new international students assimilate into their new surroundings at Duquesne. In addition to helping them in Pittsburgh, current students should also be willing to answer any questions new students may have about Duquesne and about the city of Pittsburgh.
