Just DePaul

Just DePaul is our collective commitment to advance the agenda of social and environmental justice in each one of us (the personal level), at DePaul University (the institutional level), and in the many communities, we serve and partner with locally and globally (the societal level). It is designed to support students, staff, and faculty alike. Just DePaul provides tools to incorporate social and environmental justice-oriented relationships, workplaces, spirituality and prayer, internal and external partnerships, education, and experiences across the university.
