INTRODUCING DEPAUL UNIVERSITY

About DePaul University Athletics
DePaul University sponsors 15 intercollegiate athletics programs that compete in the BIG EAST
Conference. Primary to our purpose is to maximize the great potential of our students by exposing them to the wide variety of intercollegiate programs so vital to their total education. Complementing their more formal classroom education, the Athletics Department strives to teach and develop lifelong values inherent in the Vincentian character: integrity, leadership, competition, loyalty, cooperation, fair-play, self-confidence, sacrifice, and physical fitness among others. At the same time, athletic participation brings together students from diverse ethnic, socioeconomic, cultural, and geographic backgrounds, possessing various unique skills, working together towards common success and a commitment to excellence.
​
Furthermore, athletics provides the campus community, our urban neighbors in Chicago, and DePaul alumni the opportunity for participation in the form of recreation and as spectators for intercollegiate competition.
​
The Athletics Department also has a unique opportunity and responsibility, as the most visible
messenger of the DePaul story, to represent the highest qualities and standards of our education to an observant community, state, and nation. A clear, positive exposure of DePaul University, through athletics, can enhance the University’s mission and image and directly affect the quality of faculty, enrollment, and development.
​
Not unimportant to our Mission is the emotion, school spirit, and morale, so crucial to the soul of the University, that can be uplifted through participation in athletics.
