Recent graduate of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Riley Reed came to DePaul with a deep passion for social justice and community involvement. Reed served as the first-ever senator representing LGBTQIA+ students in the DePaul Student Government Association. As an activist, Reed says they appreciate the many opportunities on and off campus to connect with people and work in the city of Chicago’s vibrant nonprofit space. Reed also served on the 2022 student vetting committee during the university's presidential search process.
My proudest achievement at DePaul was planning the first ever Queer prom, which is now a DePaul tradition. It was one of the highest attended events in 2022, and as someone who didn't get to openly attend their high school prom as a Queer person, this was a beautiful and amazing event to be able to do that four years later.
