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 Steering Committee Members


At the May 18 DES Luncheon, Jerry Goldman placed in nomination Dick Meister's and Doris Brown's names to fill the two open Steering Committee positions.  Not receiving any additional nominations from those in attendance, he moved Dick and Doris unanimously be elected. And they were -- by acclamation!  Congratulations to Dick who continues on the Committee and to Doris who replaces the slot previously held by Denny Shea.

Our outgoing Steering Committee member, Denny Shea, enabled the DES Scholarship program to flourish under his leadership.  Through his hard work, and in tandem with Dick Meister, he lead the effort to raise more than $88,000 in DES scholarship gifts.  To date, 10 scholarships have been awarded to undergraduate juniors and seniors in needs of funds to complete their education at DePaul University.  Denny has also spearheaded the effort to survey the DES membership to determine how the DES can be more effective.  The work on our second survey will be completed this summer and the membership will hear about the results in October.  Denny, we can't thank you enough for your service.

DES Officers and Committee Chairs will be elected at the June 7, 2012 Steering Committee meeting.
