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.

Snapshot of DES, May 2008

 Who Makes Up the New DePaul Emeritus Society?

  • As we begin the DePaul Emeritus Society, we are 216 individuals strong with five more to join us at the end of this academic year.
  • Of this initial 216, nearly two-thirds or 65.7% are faculty. (142 faculty; 74 staff)
  • Our gender representation is 64.8% male and 35.2% female (140 male; 76 female)
  • Our current retirees stretch over three decades with the earliest retirement date of 1978.
  • Our ages also span a few decades with our youngest retiree being born in 1952 and our two most senior retirees born in 1915.
  • 67.1% of us live in Illinois, the other third lives in 26 states and one foreign country. Slightly more than 50% (51.4%) of the out-of-state members live in four states: Florida (10) Arizona (9), Wisconsin (9), and California (8).
  • Although not confirmed, it appears that Dr. Houk, who retired in 1991, but actually continues to teach part-time and work with the DePaul Geographical Society, probably has the longest active association with DePaul of 59 years!!!
