Get connectedDiversity and Inclusion
Creating a diverse and inclusive community calls on an entire campus–student, faculty and staff–to shape that journey. At DePauw, students, faculty, and staff are shaping dialogue centered in the belief that only by understanding and embracing those whose life experiences are different than one's own can a community truly meet its aspirations.

Discover MoreAthletics and Wellness
Wellness is the pursuit of balance in the seven dimensions of wellness. Each dimension contributes to our own sense of wellness or quality of life, and each affects and overlaps the others. Many people think about "wellness" in terms of physical health only. Wellness, however, is much more than physical health. Wellness is a full integration of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. It is a complex interaction that leads to quality of life. We are all #TeamDePauw.
Be a TigerGreek Life
