Tips for auditions and interviews (because they'll be here soon!)

It being summer means it's almost fall which will mean college auditions will be back! This summer is the perfect time to start preparing for those.

Sporting Chicago

Chicago is a mecca for sports. With its rich history including the legendary Bulls with Michael Jordan, there is plenty to see in Chicago if you have a taste for sports.

Emilio's Tapas

If you decide to celebrate your birthday in the city of Chicago, you will have many options to choose from, especially when it comes to a variety of restaurants.

Wicker: The Other Park

It may be a hassle to get to Wicker Park from Lincoln Park, but it's such a fun neighborhood to explore, it's definitely worth the train switches.

A truly fascinating class discussion and the resulting thoughts

Don't you just love when you have a particularly fascinating class discussion. One I had on Wednesday has stuck with me and probably will for a good while.

Job Search!

So the most common question that I get asked as a graduating senior is, “So what’s after graduation?” or “Where are you gonna be after you cross the stage?” or even, “Hey, when are you going to become a doctor?” or any variation of these questions come up quite frequently. For any senior, this can get annoying to the point where you just start saying the first thing that comes to mind just to see their reaction. Luckily, DePaul has been extremely helpful in my search for a next step!

A Great Professor, Professor Du

What makes a good professor? Every person has different things that they like about their professor. This quarter, I had the opportunity to have a class with professor Du, who is my intermediate financial reporting professor.

A Night at The Second City

Tina Fey's pre-SNL life started in Chicago- just a couple of El stops from DePaul, at The Second City. After years of hearing roaring praise, and watching YouTube Videos from The Second City Network, I finally caught one of the comedy club's shows!

Neighborhood Festival Fun is Upon Us

With summer tantalizingly close, it's good to remember the fantastic festivals our city offers during the warm months.

Scholarships

DePaul offers some great ways for students to obtain tuition assistance through scholarships.

Undergraduate Research

One huge benefit of being in a smaller science program is the opportunity to do research with faculty early into your undergraduate career. This past quarter I started doing research in Dr. Caitlin Karver’s synthetic organic chemistry lab.

Mad Men

I have recently started watching the AMC drama, Mad Men. This TV show, set in the 1960s, follows the lives of the heartlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where the main character’s mind-set is to sell.

Registering for Orientation

The time has come to register for orientation for all you new DePaulians! One of the things to remember is that no matter your orientation date, you're bound to have fun; however, in my opinion, the earlier the better!

Loving Chicago

We shared many laughs, stories and created new inside jokes. Having my mom in Chicago made me realize that I have been fortunate enough to be studying in the City of Chicago. It is such a beautiful and wonderful city and now it hit me that I can call it my home away from home (Puerto Rico).

Your Sunny Day Guide to DePaul

Summer weather is in full swing! If you happen to fall upon a study break, DePaul provides everything you need for enjoying a sunny day to its fullest. For instance, did you know… …you can rent bikes (and more) from the Ray? …about DePaul’s many green spaces? …you’re just 0.9 miles from the expansive, exotic gardens (palm trees included!) of the LP Conservatory?

My Impending First Summer in the City

Summer is nearly here so I have a whole mess of plans to figure out before the middle of June!

Get Healthy!

So for the month of May, I have been on this “getting healthy” kick in which I do something healthy and new for each week. Being a Health Sciences major, you can do a lot of things in your home or even on campus in order to get fit. Something as simple as walking around campus can get you started on your own “Get Healthy” kick. These are just a few of the ideas that I came up with while being a student at DePaul.

New DePaul Arena

Last week DePaul, along with the city of Chicago, announced plans for a new stadium that has many students and alumni extremely excited.

Intramural Volleyball: Watching's cool too

Because I am not very good at volleyball, I enjoy watching my friends play than actually playing.

Have You Dabbled?

Chicago company Dabble offers students of all kinds to take classes on just about anything you can think of.

The Intros Journey Comes to A Close

It's time for my last Introduction to Performance production at TTS. Got me thinkin' bout what I've gleaned from the experience. Check it out!

LGBTQ DePaul

Although DePaul is the largest Catholic university in the country, there is an outstanding Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) program that DePaul offers.

Resources Here at DePaul!

As the quarter winds down, and senioritis starts to settle in, it is one of my most greatest pleasures to pass down some of my favorite resources here on campus. Throughout my four years here at DePaul, I have utilize some of the most important offices on campus and now, as incoming freshman or current students, I would like to pass along that information to you!
