Be part of the 2023 Blue Demon Challenge: give now!

The Blue Demon Challenge (BDC) is DePaul University's annual day of giving, when alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff and friends come together to give back—and this year we're raising our sights again! Your gift of any size during the BDC can help us get closer to reaching our goal of raising $7,000,000 in a single day!

The Eugene P. Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) has evolved into an interdisciplinary college with a broad range of innovative programs. The college is organized into three schools: the School of Computing; the School of Cinematic Arts; and the School of Design. During the Blue Demon Challenge, your gift to CDM can go even further:
