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.

Philanthropy FY2012

Denny Shea reported at the DES Steering Committee in mid-January that gifts totaling $10,800 have been received to date for the 2012 DES Scholarship Fund.  Reminder letters to those DES members we have not yet heard from will be sent in mid-February.  This year, and for the next two years, Mission and Values will match up to $15,000 in grant money to be dispensed each Spring Quarter.  This will permit all the dollars raised to be added to the principal of the DES endowment, allowing it to grow at an ever faster rate and guaranteeing scholarship funding in the years to come.

As Denny says: "Please consider this wonderful opportunity to serve more deserving undergraduate students."
