Alumni & Friends

Dear LAS Alumni and Friends,

Guillermo Vásquez de Velasco, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences
Guillermo Vásquez de Velasco, PhD
Dean and Professor of The Art School

As we embark on a new academic year, the College of LAS is excited to reconnect with our vibrant community of alumni and friends. This is the perfect opportunity to re-engage with LAS and our mission to foster learning and active engagement.

Our students, faculty, and staff form a community of dynamic learners, but we are truly empowered when you, our nearly 29,700 alumni and friends, are with us. Your commitment to our continuing success makes us an unstoppable force for positive change.

Our alumni are leaders, changemakers, and innovators who strive to make our communities—and our world—more equitable and just. Whether practicing law, conducting research, owning businesses, running nonprofit organizations, working for cultural institutions, directing public policy, creating art, or writing books, our alumni make a difference. They carry forward the LAS tradition of intellectual curiosity and active engagement in virtually every sector and community.

On our website you will find information about the many ways we can extend our partnership. We need you as advocates of a Liberal Arts education, as role models of leadership, and as LAS’s ethical compass for future generations of graduates. And remember, you always have a home here at DePaul.

We look forward to working together and welcoming you to visit our campus, attend events, and share your stories with us.

Warm regards,

Guillermo
Dean of LAS
