“Students bridge ideological divides at Chicago’s universities”

featured DePaul’s Bridgebuilding Fellowship in a story about students learning to facilitate dialogue across ideological divides.

Students Isabela Torres Reyes and Umar Ryan shared their insights about challenges and benefits of engaging in difficult conversations as part of the fellowship program.

DePaul President Robert L. Manuel says programs promoting dialogue at universities across Chicago show “the DNA of our community is connection.”

“Ultimately, as we start to figure out what the value of higher ed(ucation) really is, this is it.”

Thank you, Kate Perez, for covering this important story!

A beautiful day to get a law degree 🎓✨

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

At the historic Chicago Theatre Sunday, we celebrated the hard work and dedication of some 180 law graduates. DePaul alumna and Kirkland & Ellis partner Donna Welch (JD ‘94) spoke about the shared values of service, ethics and impact.

“As lawyers and future members of the bar – each of you now has unique skills that can help you give back, and make a difference,” she told graduates. “Use them well.”

Belle Nasser, this year’s student speaker, said she learned so much from her professors and classmates alike. “It has been an honor to learn and grow alongside you and I cannot wait to see the amazing things you all do as not only legal professionals but as people,” Nasser said.

Join us in congratulating our new grads!
