DePaul University Irish Studies Program

Attention, DePaul Irish Studies alumni, and all our wonderful friends!

Today is the Blue Demon Challenge. Please consider making a small donation today to support DePaul's mission -- a gift in any amount today would be more helpful than we can express! If you choose to designate your gift for Irish Studies, it will come directly to our program. There are also lots of other great challenge grants across the university, if you're interested in directing your gift to another area.

Thank you to our many wonderful past and present supporters, and thank you for considering making a gift in any amount today. Scrolling down a bit on this page will show you the Irish Studies fund link. Many thanks again!

College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Join me and make a gift to the Blue Demon Challenge!

Wonderful reception hosted last night by the Irish Consulate and the Irish Fellowship Club. Best wishes as your next chapter opens, Taoiseach Kenny!

On October 27, 2016, the Irish Studies Department hosted a turnip decorating event and discussed how Halloween is a collection of different cultural traditions, heavily influenced by Ireland's Samhain (pronounced sow-wen). Students helped themselves to snacks and candy, professors shared their Halloween experiences, and everyone enjoyed sticking googly eyes and felt on turnips.
