"From the beginning, DePaul provided me with the necessary tools to be successful in both aspects of my life: professionally and personally. I was immersed freshman year to DePaul's Career Center and its offerings including the ASK Program, resume review and the EDGE program. I enrolled in the Honors Marketing Program (IME), which gave me two incredible mentors who pushed me to my limits, while instilling confidence in my abilities. Both DePaul and its location in the city of Chicago instilled a sense of motivation in my academic and professional pursuits that I am forever indebted to!"
