Brandon Addeo news editor

The incoming Duquesne class of 2020 could potentially be the largest and most ethnically diverse in univer- sity history. Current estimates from Duquesne’s enrollment office say the class will have about 1,550 students, which would make it the largest class ever, surpassing the former leader — the class of 2017, which has 1,547 stu- dents. The next three biggest fresh- man classes include the classes of 2016, 2007 and 2012, with sizes of 1,526, 1,492 and 1,438 students, re- spectively. “We are pleased to welcome more than 1,550 freshmen to campus this week,” said Paul-James Cukanna, associate provost for enrollment management. “It’s such an exciting time for us to see our new freshmen Kaye Burnet/ Editor-in-Chief and their parents and families, with Freshman Lauren Canciani hugs her family goodbye after the August 17 freshman matriculation ceremony in the A.J.
