What “Gold Within” Means to Our Community

For nearly two centuries, DePauw has developed the leaders the world needs through a gold-standard, residential learning experience both inside and beyond the classroom.

Gold represents our commitment to academic excellence and the success of every student. It reflects exceptional career and life preparation through strong connections with successful alumni, a powerful support network that begins on your first day, and the kind of personal attention you won’t find at a large university.

Rooted in our comprehensive liberal arts and sciences foundation and guided by our core values, Gold symbolizes the talent, potential, and promise within each member of our community.

At DePauw, once you uncover your potential, you carry it with you forever because you are always Gold Within.
