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.

  • Of the 245 retirees, 62% are faculty and 38% are staff. (151 faculty; 94 staff)
  • Our gender representation is approximately 3/5th male and 2/5th  female (144 male; 101 female)
  • Our current retirees stretch over four decades with the earliest retirement date 1981 - more than 31 years ago.
  • Our ages also span a few decades with our youngest retiree being born in 1955 and our most senior retiree born in 1915.
  • 72% (177) of us live in Illinois; the remaining 68 live in 26 states and two live in a foreign country.  About 51% of the out-of-state members live in four states: Florida, Wisconsin, California, and Arizona.
