The entire DePaul community is so excited and energized by the men's basketball team's 8-0 start to the season! We want to thank all of the donors who contributed to the campaign to help send the team to France over the summer. Coach Dave Leitao believes that trip created the chemistry that has propelled the Blue Demons to their best start in 33 years. Please read about it in the Chicago Tribune article below, and know how grateful we are for your support. Your gift did even more than you imagined it would!
Go Blue Demons!!
