Duquesne meets $150 million fundraising goal a year early

Duquesne University has surpassed its $150 million fundraising campaign a year early, the school announced Thursday.

At a holiday luncheon for its employees, university President Charles J. Dougherty said the "Advancing Our Legacy" campaign, scheduled to end in December 2012, has raised $151.3 million.

The fundraising program began in 2004; the Catholic university announced a $150 million goal in 2008, when it had raised $84 million.
