INTERACTIVE EVENTS

Commencement Keepsakes | Lincoln Park Student Center Atrium – Tuesday 6/11 from 12-6pm
The Class of 2024 is welcomed to join us for an afternoon of custom creations for the Class of 2024!  Wear your cap and gown, because you’ll have the chance to make a photo key chain and get your graduation photo in the big red chair.  Graduates will also be able to make Class of 2024 branded street signs and sequence pillows!  There will be food and some other opportunities for photos as well.  There is no cost to attend this event- so we will see you there as we celebrate the class of 2024!

Skyline Photos | Lincoln Park Sheffield Parking Garage Roofdeck – Tuesday 6/11 from 12-6pm
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind photo opportunity to get your commencement photo on the rooftop of the Sheffield Parking Garage!  We will have 5ft 2024 letters on a small platform to capture your moment along with a photographer on hand to create a keepsake.

Mentor and Mentee Brunch | Lincoln Park Student Center 220 – Wednesday 6/12 from 9am-1pm
As we round out the year, join us for the Mentor and Mentee Brunch.  This brunch will go from 9am-1pm, and both mentors and mentees are welcomed to invite a significant mentor or mentee that they have worked with in their time at DePaul.  Mentors take many forms- they may include professors that taught a student, an advisor that made a strong impact, a coach, or just someone who guided you along your way.  We want to use this moment to celebrate these relationships, and hope you join us for this celebration as we send off the Class of 2024!  Graduating student attendees can also pick up a Class of 2024 mug at breakfast.
