Our Mission: Guided by the university's strategic plan, VISION Twenty12, the Office of Mission and Values collaborates with university constituencies in ways that measurably enhance their understanding and support of DePaul University's Catholic, Vincentian and urban identity. Together we provide the leadership that enables the university to fulfill its distinctive educational mission, serve its diverse student body and maximize its strategic capacities. As the premier international resource for Vincentian studies, the Office also serves a wide range of external constituencies who seek to deepen their engagement with Vincentian history, spirituality and service.
