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, Fall 2013



Who makes up the DePaul Emeritus Society?

  • We are 249 retirees strong - 33 more retirees than when we began in May, 2008
  • Plus 58 spouses of deceased retirees join with us
  • Of the 249 retirees, 61% are faculty and 39% are staff. (152 faculty; 97 staff)
  • Our gender representation is 57% male and 43% female (143 male; 106 female)
  • Our current retirees stretch over four decades with the earliest retirement date 1979 - more than 34 years ago.
  • Our ages also span a few decades with our youngest retiree being born in 1953 and our most senior retiree born in 1915.
  • 72% (179) of us live in Illinois; the remaining 70 live in 24 states, District of Columbia and two live in a foreign country.  About 44% of the out-of-state members live in four states: Wisconsin, Florida, California, and Arizona.


So that is a little bit of who makes up the DePaul Emeritus Society in the fall of 2013.  But there is one more thing that we all have in common and that is our decades-long love for the University, its mission and St. Vincent.
