Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
At DePaul, we care deeply about the well-being of every member of our community, and we invite you to join us for a Community Care Panel focused on the recent increase in immigration enforcement activity in Chicago. We recognize that these developments have created uncertainty and concern within our community. We want to provide a supportive space where you can ask questions, hear from university administrators and community partners, plus learn about available resources on and off campus.
Our hope is that this panel will offer reassurance, guidance and a sense of community. Above all, we want every member of our DePaul family to feel supported, connected and equipped with the information and resources they need to move forward with greater peace of mind.
