As a spirituality, Christianity is a genus, Roman The word spirituality is relatively new within the English-speaking Catholicism is a species, and being a Jesuit or a Franciscan (or, in world, at least in terms of how it is being used today.

  • Student Life and Campus Culture at Depaul
    CHAPTER FIVE STUDENT LIFE AND CAMPUS CULTURE AT DEPAUL A Hundred Year History John 1. Rury hroughout DePaul's history, its students have contributed to the institution's distinctive character. Since 1898, as the university has changed and the campus has grown, a vibrant student culture has evolved. This was hardly unique to DePaul. In many respects, the university's students have reflected national trends in their activities and interests. But as an urban institution, DePaul's location and programs have affected the character of its students and their activities. Historically, Chicago has been a city of immigrants, and over the years DePaul has served the city's principal immigrant groups. It has ministered to Chicago's Roman Catholic popula­ tion, to be sure, but it has also provided educational opportunities for others. As constituents of an urban university, DePaul's students have reflected the diversity and vitality one would expect of a major Chicago institution of higher learning. This is an important part of the university's heritage. In coming together at DePaul, these students created a distinctive social world of their own that changed over time, often mirroring broader tendencies in student life. Still, certain features of the DePaul student experience were quite durable and helped to define an institu­ tional identity. While in many respects its students were similar to their counterparts at other institutions, there were aspects of life at DePaul that were unique. In part this was simply structural. Campus life at DePaul has long been divided between its downtown and uptown (or Lincoln Park) locations, with each site acquiring its own atmosphere.

Gather information about the economic status of our graduates and current students 2. Improve institutional strategies and practices concerning financial aid and financial counseling 3. Promote financial literacy and economic well-being for students and graduates 4. Mobilize and expand our key partnerships to help provide financial support and employment opportunities for our students and graduates The most significant activities concerning our project: The current student/alumni surveys will be used to inform our process going forward. The surveys have helped us to gather information regarding the economic status of our students/alumni; it has also been instrumental in gathering information regarding current and past employment, cost of education, debt levels, and preparedness for employment in the ministerial field. The surveys provide material for our focus groups and will assess needs for future strategies, practices, and programming. The Ministry Showcase is our yearly event that provides our students, community organizations and the greater community an environment to share information, resources and develop relationships. The hope is that the program will allow greater prospects for internships, field education, and future positions. It provides us an opportunity to develop new relationships while strengthening existing ones. It has provided us the chance to work on key partnerships in the hopes of assisting our students. Important resources: One of the most important resources we have discovered is the students. Everyone working with survey development was surprised at the amount of feedback from our student body.

  • N I Come to Depaul from the University of Chicago, Where I Chair of Biological Sciences Performed Research on Alzheimer’S Disease As a Postdoc After Receiving My Ph.D
    THE NICHE V1 #2 DEPAUL UNIVERSITY | DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES FROM THE DESK OF THE CHAIR There have been a number of exciting changes that have occurred in the past year for the Department of Biological Sciences. One of the most significant changes has been the move to the College of Science and Health (CSH). This new college will include programs in biology, chemistry, physics, nursing, psychology, environmental science, mathematics and health sciences. CSH represents the tenth college/ school here at DePaul University. With over 750 majors, the Department of Biological Sciences is the second largest program in the new college, trailing only psychology. Two departmental faculty members have taken on leadership roles in CSH. Phillip Funk, Ph.D., is serving as the associate dean for external relations and Margaret Silliker, Ph.D., is serving as associate dean for graduate studies. The second major change is the department’s involvement in the new (fall 2011) degree program in health sciences. Several faculty in the department contributed to the development of this interdisciplinary program and several of our core courses will be integral to the health sciences curriculum. Dorothy Kozlowski, Ph.D., a biological sciences faculty member, is currently serving as the chair of the new Department of Health Sciences. Our faculty are looking forward to playing a significant role in shaping the direction of the new college and contributing to the program and curriculum innovations that will benefit those DePaul students interested in the growing career opportunities in the science and healthcare fields. Over the past five years, enrollments in courses offered through the Department of Biological Sciences have experienced phenomenal growth.
