On January 29, 1990, Dr. John E. Murray Jr., then President of Duquesne University, announced the creation of a School of Health Sciences. On March 18, 1991, Mr. John G. Rangos Sr. made a major gift to Duquesne University in support of the school, and so it was announced that the school would be named after him.
