As an inclusive organization, we strive to connect to DePaul's University Mission that values human dignity and Vincentian personalism, care for society's most vulnerable, diversity, equity, & inclusion, social and environmental justice, public service, and community collaboration.

As an organization that values individuality, we are community that is proudly shared by individuals of all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, and diverse backgrounds. Although we prioritize community within our organization, we also value collaboration with other student organizations such as Hope for the Homeless and Women in Business.

Mission
CHAARG aims to ignite a passion in college-aged girls for health + fitness. Too many college girls rely solely on the elliptical for their exercise. CHAARG liberates girls from the elliptical + shows them that fitness can [+ SHOULD] be fun! Since every girl has a different preference of what fun is, we create opportunities for our CHAARG girls to “find their fit.”
Once a girl joins CHAARG, she is welcomed into a supportive + empowering community of 10,000+ girls! When you workout, you feel good – but, when you surround yourself with people to support you, you feel even better. CHAARG combines good friends + a good workout to keep every girl feeling her happiest + healthiest self.

CHAARG (Changing Health, Attitudes, and Actions to Recreate Girls) aligns with DePaul University's mission by promoting inclusivity, community, and wellness. CHAARG empowers people through fitness and self-love, which complements DePaul's values of personal growth, social responsibility, and student well-being. It creates a supportive environment for students to connect, grow, and prioritize health, enhancing DePaul's commitment to holistic student development.

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?

Mission
Mock trial's mission is to give students early experience in legal procedures, and a comprehensive, first-hand look at what law looks like in practice. Even if students aren't interested in law specifically, skills and experiences acquired can be important for history, sociology, anthropology, political science, or other subjects that intersect with the law. Mock Trial will teach students invaluable skills that are directly applicable to their academic and personal pursuits. Students who participate gain analytical skills from analyzing cases and facts; as well as how to compose effective arguments and respond to questions or disputes. These kind of abilities are extremely useful in college-level writing and discussions in general. Mock Trial also provides students with the opportunity to develop their professionalism, confidence, and public speaking abilities, all of which are important for both future academic and occupational endeavors. Having these kinds of ability comes in handy for job interviews, class participation in the university setting, and other scenarios students may encounter.

It is this organization's mission to serve DePaul University's students through socially responsible leadership and Vincentian values. We seek to facilitate an educational environment for students who have an interest in the law, public speaking, or theater, to learn proper courtroom decorum and practices, develop trial advocacy skills, and practice public speaking.

Mission
The purpose of the organization is to supply the most comfortable space possible for students. Any and all people are welcome to join and attend. I believe mindfulness as a whole is very important to the human mind and I want to share that with other people, share it with students. Meditation is a step into mindfulness and allows us to be still in the midst of the world working around us. It allows us to create some space between us, and our thoughts letting us be at ease with them. I believe this is of great importance for working students and I want to offer a safe space for them. This club would consist of exploration of being mindful and how to practice it in everyday life, guided meditations by me or my online meditation teacher I use, and just providing a safe area to talk about feelings or emotions for anyone who needs a space to do so. This club would explore practices of Buddhism due to the teacher I use, but this club wouldn't be considered a religious one. Anyone can be a Buddha in their own life and ground themselves in the Earth we all live on. It does not need to be considered a Buddhist club, but a club for Buddha's. (I can also go into depth about what mediation and mindfulness truly are and the practices that help one reach awakening in one's own life when needed). This club will also be exploring Buddhist Psychology which is simply understanding how the mind works and how to deal with it, though acceptance of the everlasting truth of the world. Anyone is able to join this club and share their thoughts freely. It aligns with DePaul's mission and values because this can provide a community of students with a space to settle with outside worries and experiences in life outside of school to have space to succeed in classes and do what must be done.

This club is an academic environment where students can learn about mindfulness and also gain a sense of community and connection. It is a peaceful space and open to everyone.
