At C2E2, Chicago’s largest comic and pop‑culture convention, DePaul students put their education into practice on a major public stage. Students from The Theatre School, College of Communication, College of Computing and Digital Media, and Esports applied what they learn in the classroom through cosplay, makeup and prop repair; running fan engagement events; presenting original research on a panel; and getting the public's feedback on soon-to-be-released video games developed as part of class. This is DePaul's Layered-Learning™ approach in action: combining academics with hands-on, real-world opportunities that translate into meaningful, career-ready experience.

Choosing a college is a big decision, and no one knows DePaul better than the students who fall in love with it every day. 💙 ​❤️

We asked our Blue Demons about what drew them to DePaul and what makes them happy here. From finding community to discovering their passions, these are the moments that make DePaul feel like home.

DePaul has long been a leader in technology education, and our new CyberLabs takes that commitment even further. These state-of-the-art spaces in the DePaul University Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media - CDM give students hands-on experience with advanced technologies and real-world systems in cybersecurity, intelligent systems engineering, robotics and AI. Blended with classroom learning, these opportunities prepare students for high-demand careers and help them building skills that matter for the future. The CyberLabs also supports faculty-led research and innovation, ensuring students aren’t just learning, they’re contributing to advancements in the field.

For DePaul sophomore Erickson Ramos, ROTC has become a place to build leadership skills and find community with cadets at other Chicago universities. It’s also opened doors to opportunities he never expected, like presenting the colors at Soldier Field for the NFL playoffs, an unforgettable moment made possible through DePaul’s partnership with the Chicago Bears.
