News of Alumni: Will Huisentruit ‘16

Will Huisentruit ’16, who is now a senior at Duquesne University’s Palumbo-Donahue School of Business, recently created Nice Thing Per Day, an online community to promote kindness.

According to Will and his fellow senior and business partner, Jack Knapton, the vision of Nice Thing Per Day is “to provide daily reminders and encouragement to be nice to those in your local communities, and, in turn, build up confidence and self-esteem within each member of our own community to be nice to your loved ones, your personal networks, your local environment and, most importantly, yourselves.”

The duo has plans for Nice Thing Per Day to grow to a point where they can host community service events under the brand name to give back to the community.

“Overall, my ultimate goal is to celebrate kindness in the world as there is not an outlet for that, as well as spread smiles to as many people as possible,” Will said. “If even just one of the community members feels inspired to perform one act of kindness to positively change someone’s life, the account will have done its job.”

Congratulations, Will!
