Celebration of DePauw Athletics - Formerly known as the Athletic Hall of Fame Induction, this is a celebration of all DePauw Athletics, from the students to the alumni. A presentation from each of the men's and women's sports on campus, including giving their student athlete awards, will occur. Alumni inductees of the Athletic Hall of Fame will then follow.

Faculty Road Shows - Faculty take to the skies and land in a region near you. Previous speakers have included Ken Bode, retired Professor of Journalism and award-winning political analyst, Paul Watt, Professor of Religious Studies, and Jeff McCall, Professor of Communication and Theatre.

Old Gold Weekend - Enjoy a tailgate party, the Homecoming Parade, a football game, and the crowning of the King and Queen. The Alumni Achievement Awards Banquet is held and the names of the recipients are announced at the football game. Alumni Achievement Awards given are: The Old Gold Goblet, the Young Alumni Award, and Distinguished Alumni Achievement in Citizenship and Volunteer Service, Creative and Performing Arts, Management and Entrepreneurship, Media, and Professional Achievement.

Regional Clubs or Councils: DePauw University has established councils or clubs in the following areas: Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Greater Washington D.C., Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, North Texas, San Francisco, St. Louis, and the Twin Cities. Each council or club is expected to host a Monon Bell Telecast Party, a National Month of Service event in May and at least two other events either of a social, family, or cultural nature. Please click on your region to the right in the pull down boxes in order to see what exciting events your regional leader volunteers have planned for you.

Regional Hot Spots: The Alumni Board has designated 12 areas as "hot spots". These areas have a large concentration of alumni and have specific individuals that have indicated an interest in organizing a Monon Bell Telecast party and a National Month of Service event in May. Other events may be organizaed, but are not required. Success of a "hot spot" in engaging alumni and offering meaningful connection opportunities may formalize an area as a council or club in the future.

Student Summer Send-off Parties: Each summer, the Admissions Office hosts socials in various locations across the Midwest to welcome incoming freshman and transfer students to the DePauw Family.
