Join us for Blue Demon Welcome on Tuesday, September 8! Blue Demon Welcome is DePaul's annual New Student Convocation that celebrates the beginning of the DePaul journey for all new students including freshman, graduate, and transfer students. This celebration at the start of the academic year welcomes new students to DePaul. Returning students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend the Welcome Back Picnic after this event to join in the celebration as we welcome in the newest Blue Demons.

Convocation will begin at 3pm in McGrath-Phillips Arena for all new students. Here, students will hear the annual academic welcome delivered by university leadership, including President Robert Manuel, Provost Russell Ivy, the Student Government Association President, and others.
