College of Communication
Today is the Blue Demon Challenge: Give Now!

Today is the Blue Demon Challenge, DePaul University's day of giving, when alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff come together to support the people, programs, and spaces that make DePaul so special.

The College of Communication provides students with a combination of timeless principles and up-to-the-minute tools, whether they're pursuing journalism; public relations and advertising; health communication; media studies; radio, television and film; sports communication; relational, group and organizational communication; or culture and communication. During the Blue Demon Challenge, your gift to the College of Communication can go even further:

  • College of Communication Challenge: When 100 people make a gift to any fund in the college, Joan M. and Jeffrey B. Ferrill will give $100,000!
  • Communication Scholarship Challenge: When 50 people make a gift to any scholarship in the college, Ron Culp will give $5,000 to the Ron Culp Endowed Scholarship for Future Leaders in Public Relations!
  • Jeannie Morris Scholarship Challenge: When 15 people make a gift to the Jeannie Morris Scholarship, Stephen Marts will give $10,000!
  • Center for Journalism Integrity and Excellence (“CJIE”): When 20 people make a gift to the CJIE, an anonymous donor will give $10,000!
  • You can also support the DePaul chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America, or The DePaulia newspaper—and help them get to the top of the student group leaderboard!

 

Your gift today can help make a DePaul education a reality for deserving students. Give now!
