Blue Demon Challenge 2025

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

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