DePauw News & Stories

Every professor at DePauw has a story to tell of the enlivening integration of their professional lives with their teaching, and every student is the beneficiary of this journeying. After graduation, some alumni follow quite closely in their professors’ disciplinary (or interdisciplinary) footsteps.

Ken and Carrie Coquillette, both 1982 graduates, are co-chairs of DePauw’s Bold, Gold & You! campaign. Their personal story and the story of DePauw’s evolution over the last 40+ years are inextricably linked in ways that go beyond philanthropic contributions and directly to the heart of what it means to be a DePauw Tiger — past, present and future.
