Happy National Mascot Day to our favorite campus celebrity 💙😈

From repping DePaul alongside fellow Big East mascots to sharing the spotlight with a few Chicago icons, the Blue Demon has been making memories for generations.

Swipe through for mascot friendships, city pride and a throwback to the original Billy the Blue Demon.

There’s still time to make an impact this school year. Gifts from Blue Demons like you can directly support programs like The Finish Line Fund, helping students who may be as little as one quarter from graduating, earn their degree and cross the finish line. Join us in closing the year strong by giving before June 30th!

"I wanted to give back to a place that has given me so much. My experience at DePaul has been shaped by opportunities, mentorship, and a strong sense of community, and I hope my contribution can help future students have access to those same experiences." - Shresta R., Class of 2026

Help students cross the finish line today!
