Alumni Field Notes

Through the voices and work of our alumni, students help tell DePaul’s story as a migrant serving institution. This project features videos, op-eds, events, and interviews highlighting alumni impact and insights. Together, students and alumni share real-world experiences, challenges, and solutions, continuing DePaul’s legacy of engagement and advocacy.

DePaul Migration​ Advocates

DePaul alumni are influencers in the field of migration, immigration and human rights across the country and the world. Through DePaul Migration Advocates, an interdisciplinary team of students from film, law and liberals arts and sciences highlight the stories of alumni who are impacting the field and also share DePaul’s history and mission as an immigrant-serving institution through the experiences and impact of College of Law and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences alumni working in the field. The videos here, created by an interdisciplinary team of DePaul students from law, liberal arts and film, highlight the motivations, interest and impact DePaul alums bring to direct services, policy and advocacy. Iyou are a DePaul alumni interested in being highlighted, we would love to hear from you.
