To celebrate the Class of 2021, the university has created
Graduation Celebration, a unique opportunity for graduates to visit the Lincoln Park campus for a variety of outdoor, commencement-themed activities from May 19 through 28.
One activity planned is the Graduation Experience Canopy. Graduates can sign their name on the Class of 2021 reflection wall, take photos with family or friends, and, most importantly, walk across a graduation stage. A professional photographer will be available to capture the moment.
The celebration also will include a variety of DePaul-themed photo opportunities, sculptures and interactive experiences. At dusk each evening during the 10-day celebration, the Lincoln Park Quad will be decoratively illuminated for night photos and walks. Graduates can wear their regalia, DePaul jersey, Blue Demon gear or simply a nice outfit.
To participate,
register for a designated date and time.
Graduates are allowed to bring two guests. Dates and times are first come, first served. No exceptions can be made regarding the number of guests due to Chicago's COVID-19 guidelines for in-person gatherings.
Graduation Celebration will follow all COVID-19 protocol. Graduates and their guests are required to wear a face mask over their nose and mouth at all times while on campus, must complete the
#CampusClear questionnaire and practice physical distancing.
