Introduction

About the DePaul Emeritus Society

DePaul University values its ongoing connections with its faculty and staff retirees, as it values their past contributions to the university’s mission. The DePaul University Emeritus Society was founded in 2008 with the merger of the Staff Emeritus Society and the Emeritus Professors Association. The Society is sponsored by the University’s Office of Mission and Values.

The purpose of the DePaul Emeritus Society is to provide a means for ongoing connection, communication, and socialization between the university and its emeritus faculty and staff, and between individual retirees whose professional lives were for so many years dedicated to university service.

Photos, events, and information of interest to members of the DePaul Emeritus Society will be posted to this blog. Please take a look, add your comment, offer to be an "author" or just enjoy.

DES Awards Third Scholarship

Dick Meister, Brad Helgeland DES Scholarship recipient and Denny Shea
At the May 20 Luncheon in the Commons, Denny Shea introduced Brad Helgeland a graduating senior in the College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) .  Brad thanked the DePaul Emeritus Society members for making it possible for him to finish his last quarter at DePaul.  He said he wasn't sure where the money was going to come from and for a time thought he would not be able to complete his education this year.  He told the members present how extremely appreciative he was of the scholarship -- that it truly was a gift.

Denny Shea thanked the DES membership for its generosity noting over $14,000 specifically had been raised  for the DES Endowed Scholarship so far this year.  A final giving report for FY2011 will be made available after the close of the fiscal year.
