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 Luncheon, October 21, 2011


Nearly 60 attendees enjoyed a great day at DePaul on October 21.  We were feted to an Oktoberfest luncheon of beer and cheese soup, wienerschnitzel with spaetzels and red cabbage, followed by a piece of delicious cheese strudel.   At our places was an ever-so-cute box of chocolates.  To say the least, we were very well fed.  Thank you Alice Farrell!

From the DES Steering Committee:
  • Jerry Goldman reported on the HR changes affecting retirees  for 2012  (More)
  • Denny Shea gave an update on fund raising related to the DES Scholarship and introduced Fr. Udovic who told the attendees Mission and Values was offering up to $15,000 in a matching grant for the current year (More)
  • Phil Kemp invited members to join the newly created "virtual" Special Events and Projects Committee.  He said the meetings all would be held online and would deal with recommendations regarding program speakers, special events, volunteer opportunities and projects similar to the Memorabilia Project
  • Elaine Beaudoin explained the changes in the nominations' process for the DES Steering Committee (More); encouraged all to share their news for the DES Newsletter; and updated the attendees on the various Internet resources available to them, i.e., DES Website, DES Blog and DES Facebook page (More)
  • Dick Meister provided background on the development of the art collection and art space at DePaul and introduced the day's speaker, Greg Harris, Assistant Curator of the Art Museum (More)
