DePaul is amazing for socially and environmentally conscious students. The faculty have created an engaging platform that aligns with DePaul’s core values. There are ample opportunities to make a difference and get a great business education at the same time. Students who want to help strengthen the chapter are especially welcomed because DePaul’s culture and core values are established contributors to social and environmental responsibility in the Chicago area.
DePaul has long had a focus on entrepreneurship in its business school. With the university’s culture of service, this entrepreneurial orientation has a decided element of social purpose. DePaul has recently integrated sustainability into its university strategic plan. DePaul is also in tune with business ethics in terms of the student body and the themes that define the curriculum. The business school features degree programs and courses in sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and socially purposeful venture finance.
A number of faculty members across departments work in social and environmental areas, and they work with students and administrators to create new courses that incorporate these values. For instance, the Finance, Management, and Marketing Departments all feature sustainability-related coursework. Courses such as Professor Murphy’s Social Entrepreneurship seminar require students to work with local firms on consulting projects. Such connections also result in networking and job opportunities for students. It is virtually impossible to graduate from DePaul without any exposure to sustainability and social purpose. Students can make their educational experiences very socially and environmentally integrated. They can easily find opportunities to supplement their education in the Chicago community.

is better than [email protected]Students at DePaul are active in a variety of ways and through a variety of different clubs and groups on campus, including DePaul Net Impact, the Social Enterprise Collaborative, Urban Farming Organization, Students for Environmental Responsibility, the Fair Trade Committee, and Windy City Sustainability. The size of DePaul’s full-time program allows students to take en masse ownership of what the program looks like year to year. Each cohort is allowed to develop activities that reflect their unique interests. The Net Impact chapter’s core activities include the B-Corps, a group that originally traveled to New Orleans to provide consultation and support for businesses destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. DePaul also sent a team of 30 students down to New Orleans to provide this service this past December.
Throughout the year, the Net Impact chapter actively offers pro bono consulting services to local startups and nonprofit organizations. These organizations frequently collaborate to provide networking opportunities and expose members to different developmental tools. This upcoming year, the chapter will be focusing on “Quickfire” engagements. Additionally, they will partner with various organizations to bring panelists and speakers to the community and engage students on sustainability topics, such as microfinance, impact entrepreneurship, and corporate social responsibility. Located in the heart of the third-largest metropolitan area in the United States, DePaul gives students an opportunity to pursue many career paths at a variety of firms, including a growing number related to social responsibility. Chicago is seeing a drastic rise in number of businesses incorporating sustainability into their organizations, giving opportunities for start-ups and consulting firms that focus on sustainability to become more prevalent throughout the community. With a smaller number of full- time students as part of the MBA program, students can experience an intimate relationship with DePaul’s Career Management Center (CMC). This ultimately plays to the advantage of the student who is trying to scout out these CSR players within the community.
The CMC offers a plethora of tools for students, from databases, third- party software, career testing, and interview and resume critiques. DePaul’s incorporation of Vincentian values into its mission clearly resonates through its faculty. Many professors are interested in sustainability and have connections or side projects they are working on throughout the community. Their availability and willingness to work with students provides even more opportunities to network and to explore a career in this field through their connections to the community.
