ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR: SEPTEMBER 2019 - JUNE 2020 Dear Parents and Family Members,

It is an honor to welcome you to DePaul University. You have chosen an exciting time to join our community, From particularly because we will celebrate DePaul’s 125th anniversary during the 2022-23 academic year. As you get to know DePaul, you will learn that our students always come first. Our faculty are talented scholars, who The President dedicate themselves to teaching. From advisors to career coaches, our staff support our students every step along the path to graduation. DePaul offers an abundance of resources to enhance every student’s academic journey, and I encourage everyone to use them.

Our faculty and staff sincerely care for our students. They strive to give our students the skills they need to be successful when they graduate. That’s why hands-on learning is so important to us. Our faculty, who often still actively work in their fields, bring real-world experience to their work with our students. Chicago is our classroom, and faculty use the city to enhance learning.

From entrepreneurship to cinematic arts to health sciences, the university collaborates with businesses and organizations across Chicago. Our strong alliances offer students ample professional development opportunities. More than 2,000 students complete internships each year. DePaul’s more than 185,000 alumni provide a network of connections to help students discover and launch careers.

Something that resonates with me every single day at DePaul is the profound dedication of the university community to our Catholic, Vincentian mission. The university’s namesake, St. Vincent de Paul, devoted his life to addressing the most pressing societal issues of his time. While our degree offerings have evolved and expanded since the university’s founding in 1898, our dedication to service remains strong. Service learning opportunities exist across the curriculum, and we actively encourage students to participate.

When our students graduate, we hope—above all else—they will carry forward their own commitment to meet the challenges of a dynamic society. If our graduates make a positive difference in the world, DePaul will have succeeded.

Thank you for choosing DePaul, and once again, welcome.

Sincerely,

A. Gabriel Esteban, PhD President Dear Parents and Family Members,

The Quad is one of the most popular spots on campus. Students often gather here to study and hang out. It also is a main thoroughfare of campus.

KEEP IN MIND

With a variety of events planned at this time of year, encourage your student to get involved, as national research shows students who are involved in activities outside of class do better academically. The Office of Student Involvement is a good resource for students. DePaul After Dark, a Thursday late-night social program, offers weekly events for students to have fun and meet one another.

Establishing a plan for communication with your student can help to alleviate homesickness. If your student is struggling to adjust to college life, you can refer them to University Counseling Services.

Created by Edward L. Kemeys, they were a gift from Mrs. Henry Field for the Art Institute’s opening at its current location in 1893. While the lions do not have official names, the sculptor designated the lions by their poses as “stands in an attitude of defiance” (south lion) and “on the prowl” (north lion).

KEEP IN MIND

October presents the first round of midterms for your student, so words of encouragement or a care package might be a great way to show your support.

Winter quarter registration begins: encourage your student to visit their academic advisor to discuss classes for winter in advance of their registration date.

Roommate conflicts may emerge, as personality differences and living preferences present themselves. The Department of Residential Education can assist students living in the residence halls with navigating these issues. Above: The Fr. John J. Egan statue in front of the Lincoln Park Student Center was installed in 2004, three years after Egan’s death. Egan was a Vincentian priest and soldier for justice who began and ended his career at DePaul. The statue is a powerful reminder of the university’s Vincentian mission and values.

KEEP IN MIND

Academic pressures may emerge as pre-finals stress sets in for your student. Encourage them to reach out to professors and advisors for support and assistance.

Your student is preparing to return home for winter break—this is a good time to discuss expectations of one another during the break.

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) has been open for a month, so now is a good time to complete this process. Because many sources of funds are limited, or are subject to deadlines, it is important to file your student’s FAFSA for the coming academic year as early as possible after October 1. Above: Just a short walk or an “L” stop away from the DePaul Lincoln Park Campus, the historic Armitage street area is home to many great restaurants and shops.

KEEP IN MIND

Students are excited and anxious about the holiday season and winter break. Your student has had a quarter of independence, and their relationships with family and high school friends may have changed.

While your student will be happy to be home and reconnect with you and old friends, they will miss their DePaul friends.

KEEP IN MIND

With one quarter complete, your student may be ready to take on new challenges or may need to improve on the past. This is a good time to encourage reflection on the previous quarter and set goals for the new one. Refer to the “Learning Support” section of the calendar if your student is in need of specific tutoring support in their classes, or visit go. depaul.edu/success to learn about the many ways DePaul supports your student’s success.

KEEP IN MIND

Warmer weather has arrived, and students are eager to get out and explore Chicago. Encourage your student to take advantage of all that Chicago has to offer, but to do it safely, with friends.

Many of your student’s friends may be finishing up their spring semesters while DePaul’s term runs into May—they may be feeling left out as friends return home before them, so remind them to stay focused until the end of the quarter.
