From the
CHAIR
Dear Alumni and Friends,
This is a promising time for DePaul University and
an exciting time for our students, alumni and friends.
As an alumnus, I feel a strong sense of pride over the
advancements made possible by the historic partnerships
our university has cultivated and maintained not only
locally and nationally, but increasingly internationally
as well.
I have been engaged with the university as a volunteer
and as a donor for many years. To me DePaul is a vibrant
institution which is on the move, a major player in higher
education that fulfills the needs of the constituency
we serve. This university is unique in that our decisions
on how to best serve students and society stem from
a responsibility not just to the self and family, but to
society as a whole.
We are diligently devoted to the realization of our mission.
Thank you to our many supporters who have aided our
success. We are grateful for your love of and commitment
to DePaul University.
Sincerely,
John B. Simon, JD ’67
