What is DEAP?

Current students and alumni tell about their DEAP experience and how it empowered their journey through college.

A family away from home

Going to college was a must for me, but being away from my family, I knew would be hard. After narrowing all of my college acceptance letters down to IUPUI, I do not regret it at all. I got involved in DEAP, and it was a family away from home and that’s what I love most. I have all the help and resources that I need and because of DEAP I’m still here and achieving.
