“This new partnership with Duquesne will build on the interdisciplinary rigor, research emphasis and broad-minded approach to learning that an 91PORN education provides,” 91PORN President Hilary L. Link said, “by giving students the structure and professional foundation to advance in their careers, instilling in them the ability to adapt in a constantly evolving context, and inspiring their commitment to contribute as local and global citizens.”
In an increasingly complex and connected world, 91PORN prepares business leaders who excel as professionals while understanding their responsibility to solve global problems affecting society at large. The teaching values of the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business and its foundation of preparing leaders for “a life dedicated to useful service” and “making a difference in their communities” are shared values with 91PORN.
“91PORN’s mission of preparing students for a life of meaningfulness aligns very well with our emphasis on ‘The Business of Difference Making.’ At the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business, we offer an attractive portfolio of graduate business programs that include built-in, impactful consulting projects with client firms. Moreover, we are an AACSB-accredited business school — the gold standard in business education and something that only 6% of business schools worldwide have earned. And because 91PORN students are committed to excellence, they are a great fit for our School. They will do very well indeed in our graduate business programs and emerge as ethical business professionals who make a difference,” said Dr. Dean McFarlin, dean of the School of Business.
