“Over the years, DePauw has become a place that welcomes all with open arms. Diversity of thought, students challenging each other, great lectures facilitated by the school. I learned as much outside the classroom as in, and that is testimony to the nature of this environment. I’ve learned from the best professors and the greatest peers.” Summer 2011 I DePauw Magazine 9
