Mission
DePaul Doctor Who Club is an inclusive space for fans of the British Sci-fi series Doctor Who to meet, discuss episodes, hear from guest speakers, learn about the making of the series, watch and listen to content, and discuss the series. The group also does activities related to Doctor Who like attending Chicago Tardis, visiting local businesses, and playing themed games.

The Mission of DePaul University is to provide inclusive spaces that foster a Vincentian view of personhood – that is, that every person is valuable and that every life has the capability to do good. On the surface, DePaul Doctor Who celebrates a television series that has the exact same philosophy. The Doctor believes that every life is valuable (even his enemies!) and that there is goodness in everything. As he says, “The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.” However, the Club itself fulfills the ideals of the Vincentian mission by encouraging our members to be themselves, to express themselves however they like, and to develop a strong ethical sense of responsibility. One of the ways we do that is through volunteering at local events like Chicago TARDIS, the DePaul Pop Culture Conference, and C2e2, among others. We ask ourselves, what would the Doctor do?
