A recap of our first strategic plan
Dear Blue Demon Family,Â
Five years ago, in 2021, we launched our DREAM BIG strategic plan with a bold vision for the future of DePaul Athletics.Â
I want to personally thank you for being a part of this journey. The work we have accomplished has created a strong foundation, and our next plan will build on that progress as we continue to move DePaul Athletics forward.Â
Together, we have achieved record growth in fundraising, attendance, licensing, academic success, digital engagement and facility investment. Most importantly, we have strengthened the connection between DePaul Athletics and the fans, alumni, supporters and university community who make our success possible.Â
The progress we have made over the past five years is a direct reflection of your belief in our student-athletes, coaches and staff. We are grateful for your support and proud of what we have accomplished together.Â
I invite you to take a few minutes to watch the video below, as I reflect on the impact of our first strategic plan cycle and the foundation it has helped create for what comes next.Â
I look forward to soon sharing more about the future of Blue Demons Athletics in the coming months. The momentum is real, our foundation is strong, and the best is yet to come.Â
Go Blue Demons!Â
