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.

In Memoriam - Carol Damron

Although Carol was not a member of the DES (but would have been if she had chose to retire), I'm sure many of you remember her from both HR and Info Services.  I'm posting this in the event you would like to attend her funeral or send your condolences to the family.

Dear Colleagues,


It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Carol L. Damron.  Carol passed away on Sunday, September 7, after a long battle with Leukemia. She worked for DePaul for 19 years, starting in Human Resources and then moving into Information Services after the original PeopleSoft implementation. She is survived by her daughter, Sara Brennan, formerly of DePaul Student Records, as well as her beloved pets Doodles, Jake, and Charlie.

Services will be held on October 4 at noon at Wenban Funeral Home at 320 Vine Ave in Lake Forest, IL.  In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: pages.teamintraining.org/il/chicago14/sarabrennan.

Our deepest sympathies go to Sara.
