Who runs Sports Night?
Sports Night is a DePauw Community Service (DCS) program. It is staffed by a DCS Coordinator and a team of student volunteers. Throughout the evening, your child will be overseen by responsible DePauw students to ensure they are safe and having fun. Butler University Head Men's Basketball Coach Brad Stevens was once a Sports Night volunteer!
How do I sign up for Sports Night?
Each participant must have a registration form on file in order to participate in the DCS Sports Night Program. This form includes a liability and a photo release. Please complete the form and submit it to the Sports Night coordinator the first time your child attends.
What else do I have to do to attend?
For security purposes, all children must be signed in and out at each monthly Sports Night by a parent or other responsible adult. To accomplish this you must accompany your child to and from the registration area every time he or she comes to Sports Night (and we hope that’s all of them!).
Sports Night is sponsored by Civic, Global, and Professional Opportunities. For additional information contact opportunities@depauw.edu or call 765-658-4622.
