DePaul celebrates new academic year with Convocation and Blue Demon Welcome

DePaul kicked off the new academic year with two celebrations. Last week, on Wednesday, Sept. 2, President Robert L. Manuel and Provost Russell Ivy delivered remarks at Academic Convocation, welcoming faculty and staff back to campus and setting the tone for the year ahead. 

Then on Tuesday, Sept. 8, DePaul welcomed its newest students at Blue Demon Welcome, the university's annual New Student Convocation. Freshman and transfer students processed from McGrath-Phillips Arena to the Quad as part of the New Student Cavalcade, cheered on by faculty, staff and returning students, before hearing remarks from university leadership and enjoying food, music and other festivities. 

Check out the gallery from both celebrations!
