As DePaul intensified its emphasis on written communication, Bowden was asked to serve as director of First-Year Writing at DePaul from 2002-04 and from 2005-12. During these years, she helped to develop several initiatives that brought distinction to the university. Her work was recognized internationally and she was asked to serve on the executive board of the Council of Writing Program Administrators and chair a task force to revise national outcomes for first-year writing programs that would integrate text-based and digital reading and writing. The university promoted her to associate professor in 1998 and to professor in 2006.

She served on several college and university committees, including extended participation in the University First-Year Programs Committee. Even as she planned for her retirement from the university, Bowden remained committed to her colleagues, agreeing to take on a leadership role as president of the Liberal Arts and Social Sciences College Senate for her final academic year.

A university derives much of its vibrancy from the nature and diversity of During his time at DePaul, Spittle has reinforced the university’s its students. For nearly three decades, Brian Spittle devoted himself to institution-wide commitment to aligning student access with long-term making DePaul one of the nation’s most dynamic institutions of higher attainment. He helped to shape how DePaul thinks about low-income learning by helping to attract and retain low-income and first-generation and first-generation students, and his efforts have nurtured the academic students, and creating programs to encourage their academic success. achievements and life-long success of countless DePaul graduates.

You inspired colleagues by funded TRIO programs, one of which is designed to assist first generation challenging the status quo and broadened perspectives with innovative and low-income students in completing their bachelor’s degrees and ideas and genuine enthusiasm for your work. For these reasons the other to prepare them for doctoral studies. With an understanding and more, it is a privilege to bestow upon you the Via Sapientiae that many of these undergraduates struggle to acclimate themselves Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff. to university environments, Spittle helped to design TRIO programs that provide eligible DePaul students with the academic, personal and community support to help them attain their degrees and enter their chosen careers. Around the same time, he became a vocal advocate for the International Baccalaureate programs. After recognizing the academic success of Chicago Public School IB students who attended DePaul, he was among those who advocated that the City of Chicago expand its IB programs to better prepare students for college. Today, Chicago is home to the largest network of IB schools in the nation. In 2008, the TRIO programs and DePaul’s partnership with Chicago’s IB programs were organizationally centered in a newly established Center for Access and Attainment, which Spittle co-founded and led until his retirement in January. As the center’s leader for more than eight years, Spittle was involved in a number of higher education access initiatives, was active on the Council for Opportunity in Education and the membership program for TRIO programs, served on the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research and participated in the College Relations Committee of IB Americas. In 2012, Spittle was also influential in making DePaul one of the first major universities in the nation to implement a process that does not require standardized test scores for admission. Research shows that standardized test performance tends to relate to income more than academic performance, and test results often do not reflect the academic potential of low-income and minority students. Though only a few students request this alternative consideration today, DePaul remains one of the largest institutions willing to weigh students’ high school academic achievement and essays for admission.

It was one of the few public Donna Max has spent 22 years supporting her DePaul colleagues with recognitions of a career of service to this institution and commitment to grace, generosity and absolute competence, making them feel assured its mission.

When Epp moved to Academic Affairs to Sapientiae Award, DePaul University’s highest honor for faculty and staff. become provost in 2005, she followed him. One of her most important contributions was managing the stream of people who walk into the Office of Academic Affairs. Students, parents, faculty, administrators, trustees and a variety of persons from outside the DePaul community routinely turn to Academic Affairs in search of assistance. Max exemplified the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul by treating everyone with respect, concern and compassion. Max always planned to retire after Epp stepped down as provost, but instead, demonstrating her characteristic care for DePaul, she stayed on after 2012 to ensure a smooth transition to the next provost. Then, as the search for a permanent successor took longer than expected, she resolved to remain until current Provost Marten denBoer had settled into the role. During that transitional period, Max provided important steadiness and consistency of purpose in Academic Affairs. With her wealth of knowledge about the university and its people, she helped the new leadership keep an eye on strategic priorities during times of change and muster the best people to the work at hand. And occasionally, she dealt with extraordinary situations. That was the case when a DePaul student, weeks away from graduating, was suddenly caught up in a military deployment to the Middle East. His wife’s phone call found its way to Max. Graduation meant everything to the young man, she said. Was there anything the university could do? Max went to great lengths to get the young man his well-deserved diploma, a mortarboard like those worn by his classmates and the tassel he had worked so hard to earn. She was determined to make sure the young man shared in the once-in-a-lifetime experience of graduation—even if he was half a world away.
