The DePaul Alumni Association Group on LinkedIn announces a brand new feature to make networking with fellow graduates even easier. Within the parent Alumni Association group, there are now specialized groups for each of DePaul's seven regional alumni chapters: Arizona, Chicagoland, Denver, Detroit, New York City, Southern California and Washington, D.C. Each subgroup offers many of the same features as the parent group -- news, discussions, a job board -- but the dedicated regional group makes connecting with local graduates and sharing region-specific information that much easier. To participate in the subgroups, you must be a member of the DePaul Alumni Association parent group, but once you sign in, you can join the subgroup for your region by clicking the "subgroups" tab and selecting your region. Join now and start connecting with other DePaul alumni today!
