Give a Shared Coin

WHY WOULD I SHARE A COIN?

To recognize any one of our DePaul community members who is living the mission. Examples of living that mission might be:

  • The staff member who goes above and beyond to make sure a student is heard and assisted.
  • The faculty member who makes themselves available outside of office hours to hear a student’s story.
  • The student who advocates for and gives voice to a peer’s need to make change within our community.
  • A facilities person whose work assures your safety in getting to the office every day.
  • A supervisor who wants a staff member to feel seen. A witnessed commitment or act of service, advocacy, or justice beyond our campus community.
  • An administrator who supports and resources you in a way that makes your job easier.
  • Any DePaul community member who witnesses an impactful act of service, advocacy, or justice beyond our campus community.

These are just a few examples of many ways that everyday members of our community bring to life the mission and values of DePaul University in concrete ways that transform our community.

HOW WOULD I SHARE A COIN?

In whatever simple or creative way you find works for you!

  • During your next 1:1 with your supervisee
  • At the close of one of your classes
  • At a student organization’s event or meeting
  • To open your next meeting
  • When you catch them in action

We encourage you to personalize this experience by using the back of the card given out with each coin to write a message to the individual you are acknowledging. Let them know why you are recognizing them and why they are a gift to our DePaul community.
