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.

Fullerton "L" Station

For those of you who haven't been on the Lincoln Park Campus lately, we thought you might enjoy seeing the change to the Fullerton "L" Station.  The station and the platforms have all been completely renovated. I'm sure you will admit, it looks much better than the old station!

Entrance off of Fullerton Avenue
Once inside the station you will be treated to a beautiful Venetian glass, marble and stone mosaic entitled Doors Open Everywhere at Fullerton, by Michael Dinges, 2009.

Part of the CTA Arts in Transition Program

The two train platforms are all new too.  Both platforms have escalator and elevator service.

The next time you need to go to the Lincoln Park Campus, consider taking the CTA.
