22 DePAUL SCHOOL OF MUSIC music.depaul.edu 23 DePaul School of Music Centennial

Planning for our centennial continues as we near the launch in Fall, 2012. Alumni concerts, special guest artists, new compositions, and student performances will be included in the celebration.

As we plan for exhibits and programs, we are looking to alumni to enhance our collection of photographs and memorabilia from the School’s first one hundred years. If you have photographs, memorabilia, or programs from events and concerts, please send them to the Dean’s Office, DePaul School of Music, 804 W. Belden, Chicago, IL 60614. We are particularly interested in pre-1977 memorabilia, when the School of Music was located on the Loop campus. For more information, contact Pat Mikos at [email protected]
