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.

Fall 2013 Luncheon

A wonderful time was had at the 2013 Fall DES Luncheon -- a possible record attendance of more than 65 attendees.




In addition to a beautiful All Soul's Mass said by Fr. Richard Benson CM, the DES members were treated to a delicious leafy green salad with fresh pears, beef short ribs atop creamy mashed potatoes with baby fresh carrots, and completed with chocolate ganache cake in a pool of creme anglaise sauce.  Mighty tasty.  The vegetarian plate was equally as festive with large portabella mushrooms encasing various layers of fresh vegetables.  And, of course, red and white wine.

Dean Corrin and Abby Ables, from The Theatre School, provided an outstanding presentation sharing with the DES members the "thinking" and various concepts that went into the design of the new Theatre School building.  For a look at the inside of the new Theatre School click here to see a video of the DES tour which followed our luncheon.

Mark your calendars for our Spring Luncheon on May 16, 2014.
