It is Blue Demon Week here at DePaul. To celebrate, here is the first of four videos that shines a light on the DePaul experience.
DePaul Library Update
The DePaul University Library will be migrating the Library's Web site to the SharePoint platform this summer, with an expected launch on August 28, after the end of the summer session. Most major library systems will continue to operate unchanged as will the structure of our site during this migration, so if you are familiar with how our current site is organized, you will find the new one similar in almost every respect.
The Library wants faculty to be especially aware that our URLs will change when we migrate, so with the exception of the Library Homepage, all other URLs beginning with library.depaul.edu/ will need to be updated in your course materials and D2L.
Starting July 25th, the Library will make the new Web site available to faculty and students at special locations in the Richardson and Loop Campus libraries. More information on the specifics will be communicated closer to that time. Please contact the Library's Coordinator for Web Services, M Ryan Hess, if you have any questions.
DePaul Enrollment Summary Booklet
DePaul’s Division of Enrollment Management and Marketing has just published the 2012 Enrollment Summary booklet (as a PDF).
DePaul Interns - A Day in the Life
Kate Stevenson has started a new site for our intern students to talk about their experiences. It’s called “A Day in the Life” and the site lets DePaul interns blog about what their jobs are like. The goal is to feature these students and share with other students what an internship entails. All interns will be featured in the site.
Each quarter a new crop of students will be able to express their thoughts.
Fernando Martinez, now at the Tribune, is the first student featured. Others will follow.
iDePaul App Goes Live
DePaul’s new App has gone live, and can be download to the major mobile platforms:

Facebook Changes For DePaul
Kris Gallagher has these suggestion to those of you at DePaul using Facebook Pages:
When you look at the new Facebook page design, you’ll notice that you can choose a large image and also specify your profile picture. We recommend that you maintain your current profile picture (which for many of you is the DePaul logo and/or optimized DePaul signature).
With the large image, there are a couple of factors to consider:
- Make sure you have copyright permission to use the photo. If it was professionally taken, make sure you’ve purchased online rights from the photographer. If it was taken by a student, make sure you have the rights to use it.
- Make sure it’s eye-catching and good quality. Some photos look fine when they are small but are grainy or otherwise unattractive when they are large. Luckily, you can preview them.
- If you can, make it distinctly DePaul. Nearly every university can show a student sprawled in the grass studying. What photos do you have that make us special?
- Remember that you can’t use images from DePaul’s website without permission from EM&M.
- You can change these photos regularly. You may want to develop a set of images that you rotate.
DePaul Blue Demons has already made some changes to their Facebook Page - please take a look.
DePaul University Receives Largest Gift in its History
“DePaul University today announced a $30 million gift from Chicago momentum investment pioneer and philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus to enhance the academic programs of its 100-year-old College of Commerce. Coming as the College enters its centennial year, the record gift is expected to transform the future of business education at DePaul, the largest private, nonprofit university in the Midwest.”

Gaming the College Rankings
DePaul’s own Jon Boeckenstedt was quoted in a New York Times piece yesterday. The article (Gaming the College Rankings) is a short but worthwhile read, that covers some of the inherent gaming of the system that takes place with university ranking. Anyway, here is the quote:
“The reliance on this is out of hand,” said Jon Boeckenstedt, the associate vice president who oversees admissions at DePaul University in Chicago. “It’s a nebulous thing, comparing the value of a college education at one institution to another, so parents and students and counselors focus on things that give them the illusion of precision.”
Strategic Planning Town Hall Reminder
This is a quick reminder that the Town Halls for DePaul’s Strategic Planning 2018 start this week. There are six opportunities for the DePaul community to provide their feedback to the draft plan, particularly in regards to these two questions:
- What in this preliminary draft resonates?
- Is there anything in these initial ideas that needs to be strengthened or refined in some way?
The six Town Halls follow this schedule. Online registration is available here.
- LPC - Friday, November 4 (9am-10am) Student Center, room 314 A&B 2250 N. Sheffield Ave.
- Loop - Monday, November 7 (9am-10am) DePaul Center, room 8002 1 East Jackson Blvd.
- LPC - Tuesday, November 8 (3:30pm-4:30pm) Student Center, room 314 A&B 2250 N. Sheffield Ave.
- LPC - Wednesday, November 16 (11am-12pm) Student Center, room 314 A&B 2250 N. Sheffield Ave.
- Loop - Wednesday, November 16 (3pm-4pm) DePaul Center, room 8002 1 East Jackson Blvd.
- Loop - Friday, November 18 (9am-10am) DePaul Center, room 8002 1 East Jackson Blvd.
Online comments are also available via the President’s website (here) until Friday, December 16th.
Higher Education and Social Media
DePaul Social Media Guidelines
The university created a set of guidelines for participants in social media sites managed by DePaul. These guidelines explain how the university expect commenters to behave on our sites, and what actions we will take if they violate them. For example, if people post ads for outside entities, DePaul will take them down. Those who post must remain civil or their posts will be removed.
You can see the guidelines at
http://www.depaul.edu/socialMedia/guidelines.asp
The guidelines are designed to be applicable to any type of social media site.
Social Media Marketing Conference: 10th June
http://www.clearcutconferences.com
The conference will feature segments from professors in the College of Communication and the College of Commerce. The proceeds of this conference will go to an on-campus organization that raises money for children in Northern Uganda (Invisible Children DePaul).
The conference registration fee is $79 for the public, but free for DePaul Students, Faculty and Staff.
Hope to see you there.
Naturally, I will be tweeting. I intend to use the #Clearcut2010 hashtag.
