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.

May 20, 2016 DES Luncheon Photo Video

Our May 20th DES Luncheon was most wonderful. Starting with the excellent selection of wines and the delicious menu to the outstanding presentation by Clara Orban, chair of DePaul's department of modern languages, and congenial conversations with colleagues -- everything was grand.



A big thank you to:

  • Alice Farrell for menu selection and organizing; 
  • Clara Orban for sharing with us her knowledge of wines, especially those home grown ones from Illinois; and,
  • Fr. Udovic for being our sponsor.

    Be sure to mark your calendar for our next DES Luncheon on Friday,

DePaul Distinguished Service Awards Luncheon - 2016

It was stated at the luncheon that 384 DePaul members were celebrating their 5-year increment anniversary at DePaul. The Cultural Center was filled with Distinguised Award recipients as well as a number of DES members.

Father Udovic welcomed the attendees and Fr. Holtschneider recognized each group with a short history of the year in which they joined DePaul.

It was a lovely afternoon in a beautiful venue.
