Mission
14 East is a collaborative of DePaul students cultivating an interest in a wide array of subjects from politics to literature to culture. From this magazine, readers can find unique perspectives on issues pertinent to young adults in Chicago. We aim to humanize the issues that are attracting attention in the social atmosphere.

The free exchange of ideas is crucial to the mission of any university tasked with education. The free and independent press, it follows, are a necessity for our school, and having more than one outlet certainly couldn't hurt. However, 14 East is not simply a soap box from which the loudest voices may prevail: our magazine has made a concerted effort in its first few months of active publication to shine a light on stories that would otherwise go untold, giving a voice and platform to those who cannot speak for themselves. When it comes to planning the future for the magazine -- our next lineup, month or year -- there is only one question we need ask ourselves: what must be done? With that mindset as our guide, our goal of humanizing our subjects is not met when we put their picture on our website; only when we've captured their actual dignity can we say that we've done our job. Someone once said that a journalist's job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. The staff at 14 East aims to do exactly that.

Mission
The DePaul Alive Inside club draws on student interests in neuroscience, music, and service to grow meaningful community engagement with Chicago's aged population with a particular focus on brain health. Persons over the age of 65 represent the world's fastest growing population, and as societies become older, the need for effective and meaningful strategies to improve and maintain cognitive health increases. Significant evidence supports the use of music to restore brain functions, including the memory loss observed in dementia patients, especially those with Alzheimer's disease. Our club aims to raise awareness for the therapeutic value of music and the aging brain by bringing the health and wellness of music directly into Chicago-area nursing homes. Students will find a unique opportunity to explore means of using music as therapy and its healing power when prescription medicines fall short. This outreach will provide student members with the opportunity to learn and appreciate the neuroscience of health and disease, the joy and power of music, and the value of multidisciplinary approaches to problem solving.
DePaul University’s mission emphasizes academic excellence, service to others, and a commitment to social justice. The Alive Inside organization aligns with these values by fostering education and service to engage within the community. Through guest speakers to direct opportunities to volunteering at community service facilities, students will be able to explore the potential to use music as a source of medicine to help senior residents. By providing service-based opportunities, the organization upholds DePaul’s Vincentian values of helping underserved populations and addressing health disparities.

Membership Benefits
Membership benefits of participating in Alive Inside include opportunities to practice community service through means such as volunteering at local nursing homes to explore the powerful effects of music on brain health.

The mission of Blue Demon Theatre is to inspire all DePaul students to be active theatre makers in the Chicago area.

Taken from DePaul Mission "Core Values" Access to Higher Education: We believe everyone has something to contribute to theatre, even if they have not been a part of theatre before. Every member has a unique artistic and musical background that they bring to the table. By offering roles that support first time performers, directors, writers, and technical members, we break down barriers to access theatre broadly. We also break barriers within DePaul, as performance opportunities at the School of Music and The Theatre School only include students within those schools, and even students within those schools are facing reduced opportunities due to budget cuts, and are not able pursue Musical Theatre. This highly relevant field of theatre falls in between both of these schools, and is therefore covered by neither. We see two gaps: non-Major access to theatre, and all student access to Musical Theatre. We truly believe we are filling these gaps in DePaul's academic offering for our members as we provide all students at DePaul with access to high-quality, pre-professional theatre. Community and Collaboration: Theatre is interdisciplinary. With countless specialties in fields of performance, direction, tech, and production, we are challenged not only to be good in our own specialty, but to make our unique skills fit into a team of people who all think and create differently. Our one common responsibility is to be an effective communicator of our field to make it accessible to our teammates. We also foster community by sharing stories and bringing the broader community together through shared passion and fan-favorite shows that highlight the identities and experiences of others.
