 COVID-19 disrupted our student and faculty community engagement work, as DePaul faculty and Steans Center staff operate remotely and students are limited in their ability to engage off campus. If you have any questions, please send us an email to servicelearning@depaul.edu and a member of our staff will get back to you.
