Welcome to the DEN

All DePaul students have now been added to DePaul’s Digital Engagement Network (DEN), an online resource that shares virtual events offered by departments across the university. The DEN gives students multiple opportunities each week to connect in fun ways with other DePaul students in our current remote environment. Each Monday, all students will receive this DEN newsletter, which lists all of that week’s virtual events. If you should decide that you do not want to receive the newsletter, simply click on ‘unsubscribe’ at the bottom of the email. We hope you take advantage of the DEN, and start connecting with more of your fellow DePaul students!

This is Week 6 of Fall Quarter. Thank you for checking in and seeing what's new this week! We have some great events coming up this week! Please continue to visit our group page to learn more about the events.

Should you have any questions, please contact us at involvement@depaul.edu
