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 - Mark Zinger

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing on Monday of Mark Zinger of the School of Music.  He was 93 years of age. Professor Zinger was a long-time violin faculty and professor emeritus.  Dean Caltabiano has noted: "Mark Zinger was a highly respected colleague and professor and one of our principal pedagogues. His musical advice was highly valued not just by his violin students, but by all students.  In addition to his knowledge of violin technique and literature, he was admired for his warmth and compassion.  He taught his students with great care and taught them to love music and to love performing."

Services took place today.  For more information: https://www.forevermissed.com/mark-zinger/#about [Information includes Family Visiting on February 7th and 8th, 2017]

Thank you.
