The Cultural and Resource Centers are taking over campus with the help of various campus partners. Please join us for an unforgettable start to the 2024-25 academic year at Multicultural Campus Takeover! The Multicultural Campus Takeover is a series of events happening across campus, so there are plenty of opportunities to join us in having fun and celebrating DePaul’s multicultural community.
Join us in the afternoon for an Open House of the Cultural and Resource centers. Each center will have a different activity for you to enjoy. There will be a henna artist in the APIDA center, tarot card reading and aura photos in the LGBTQIA, yoga in the LCC, and food and games in the BCC.
We can’t wait to see you at the open house! For any event inquiries, please email us at culturalcenter@depaul.edu or DM us on Instagram @culturaldepaul.
Follow us on Instagram @culturaldepaul for event updates and more. Use #culturaldepaul to share your excitement and connect with fellow attendees before, during, and after the event.
