DePaul University's Office of Student Involvement plays a pivotal role in fostering a vibrant campus community through events like the Involvement Fairs. These fairs, held during the Fall and Winter quarters, serve as a platform for registered student organizations and university departments to showcase their offerings. To participate, organizations simply need to complete a form on DeHub, the university's online platform for student activities. Upon submission, they will receive notification regarding their confirmation or waitlist status for a table at the fair.
