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 Grows

During the Spring of 2014, the University offered long-serving faculty and staff an incentivized early retirement program. The program was completely voluntary and extended to the entire population of the university, with the exception of the President's cabinet.

Faculty and staff who met the following criteria based on their age and years of service were eligible for the 2014 Early Retirement Incentive Program.

  • Staff members at least age 55 with 20 years of full-time cumulative service, or at least age 62 with 10 years of full-time cumulative service, as of June 30, 2014.
  • Faculty members who were tenured and at least age 62 with 10 years of full-time cumulative service, as of June 30, 2014.

The final date of full-time employment for these individuals was June 27, 2014.

The DES is pleased to welcome into our ranks those who chose to accept the Early Retirement program.

Over the summer, all new members will receive a letter from the DES welcoming you and inviting your participation, listing opportunities, noting the date of our Fall Luncheon (October 31 - Halloween), and providing the URLs to the DES Website and this DES News Updates blog.  Also, all new members will be invited to the DES Facebook page and receive the summer DES Newsletter.

WELCOME new members to the DES!

One of the new retirees posted this image on her Facebook page.  It looks like she is VERY happy to be retired
