Student Advocacy & Community Relations

Who We Are:

Provide a comprehensive infrastructure that supports the total student while providing appropriate "safety nets" of assessment, counseling, intervention and referral.

What We Do:

The office provides a "one stop" contact for student issues regarding navigating the DePaul University systems as well as providing connections to the Chicago area. In addition, the office provides challenges to the institution and the student body to ensure the inclusion of students with disabilities, international students and adult students in the life of the university community. The staff consults with faculty, staff and administrators regarding student trends and related issues and helps students connect with the university and external community.
