Living on campus, and at the University Center, is an important aspect of a college education. Residence halls are more than just rooms or places to study and sleep. They are places where students develop meaningful friendships, explore new ideas and get involved with the university community. Living on campus provides the opportunity to learn how to balance the academic and social aspects of life at DePaul University. RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLYING WITH POLICIES Living successfully on campus also requires balancing individual freedoms with respect for the rights of others. Negotiation and compromise are essential, and we encourage students to learn from one another. Living on campus is a privilege, and this privilege requires that all residential students and their guests behave appropriately. Residents are WELCOME expected to read and understand the housing and university policies and procedures in this guide. By choosing to live in a DePaul University residence hall, you agree to abide by all DePaul University policies, including the Code of Student Responsibility and the policies and procedures detailed in this Guide to Student Housing. Failure to abide by any of these policies and procedures may result in appropriate discipline, in accordance with established procedures, up to and including dismissal from the halls or the university and/or financial penalties.

  • College During the Pandemic: Press Release
    EMBARGOED UNTIL: CONTACT: April 27, 2021 Lisa Sall [email protected] 630-408-1633 Despite challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, CPS grads maintained four-year college enrollment and slightly increased four-year college retention rates New strategies to adapt to students’ needs led to double-digit enrollment increases at some Illinois colleges Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and shift to virtual learning, the class of 2020 faced unprecedented challenges to enroll in and return to college in the fall of 2020. Nationally, four-year college enrollment for first-time freshmen declined around 4 percent in fall 2020. Comparatively, four-year college enrollment declined just 2 percent among the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) class of 2020, according to a new study, College During the Pandemic: Immediate Enrollment and Retention of CPS Graduates in Fall 2020, by the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. Declines in two- year college enrollment were significantly greater, both nationally and among CPS graduates. Two-year college enrollment declined by 18 percent for CPS graduates, compared to a 13 percent drop in two-year college enrollment nationwide. In light of the national rates, there were assumptions that enrollment rates for CPS graduates would similarly decline, that two-year colleges would be more popular because they usually cost less, and that private colleges would be less affected because they have more resources to quickly adapt to virtual learning. “The data is showing that many of these assumptions were inaccurate,” said Jenny Nagaoka, Deputy Director, UChicago Consortium. “We’re actually seeing some very interesting outcomes in enrollment and retention at four-year colleges among CPS graduates.

  • Elgin Academy's Summer Theater Program Is Excited to Be Hosting
    Elgin Academy’s Summer Theater Program is excited to be hosting educators Rick Hilsabeck and Sarah Pfisterer, award winning Broadway Stars from The Phantom of the Opera, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Billy Elliot and Show Boat! Rick Hilsabeck is a highly regarded actor, singer, dancer and teacher with over 35 years of experience starring on Broadway, national tours, the concert stage, as well as the dance world. He has enjoyed a successful and diverse international career. Rick learned the hallmarks of good teaching from his parents. His mom, an accomplished soprano in her own right, and his dad, a beloved high school history teacher, recognized his growing interests in art, music and dance. With a solid foundation early on in vocal technique and an interest in dance, he was pointed in the right direction. Directly out of high school, Rick was chosen to be a member of the Academy Award winning singing group The Young Americans, based in Los Angeles. He was also accepted to the Acting program at California State University, Fullerton. There he studied all aspects of the theatre arts: acting technique, scene study, makeup design, set design, fencing, stage combat and mime. Rick returned to his native Chicago where he worked in the area theatres and studied dance with Lou Conte. The internationally acclaimed Hubbard Street Dance Company was in its infancy at the time and Rick became the first male principal dancer with the troupe where he appeared in two PBS TV specials. He had a long tenure with HSDC as a dancer, choreographer and teacher.

Subject: Theatre Advisor: International Baccalaureate Extended Essay Word Count: 3,933 Page 1 of 18 Abstract In this extended essay I researched the question of which techniques of famous choreographer Bob Fosse influenced the Broadway musicals of the 1970's. Through his effective techniques of innovative choreography and story-telling, Fosse revolutionized the American Broadway industry. I specifically analyzed the popular musicals Chicago, Sweet Charity, and Pippin to support this thesis. In order to investigate my topic, I watched stage productions of these three musicals. I also went to a live production of Chicago at a local theatre, Players by the Sea. It was beneficial to see these productions because I could analyze the choreography first-hand. And I could see how it worked alongside with the story-telling. However, these productions were not Fosse's originals, but they only showed how influential his techniques had become. I also began researching information about the Broadway industry in the 1970's. I discovered articles about lost elements of choreography, as well as reviews on Fosse's work.
