The following has been compiled for the Early Retirement Incentive Program Retirement Symposium - April 1 and 2, 2014. We thought all members of the DES might find the information informative.
DEPAUL EMERITUS
SOCIETY CONNECTIONS
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.
DEPAUL EMERITUS SOCIETY WEBSITE
The DePaul
Emeritus Society has a website graciously supported by the Office of Mission
and Values. The website includes
general and historical information about the DES and its programs including: DES Guidelines; past
Semi-Annual Luncheon slide videos; a list of Retiree Benefits Issues; past
editions of the DES Newsletter; Philanthropy Opportunities; Volunteer
Opportunities; and the Memorabilia Project.
Additionally, it is a repository for the Oral History Project and the
record of In Memoriam of those retirees
who have died. It also provides links to the online DES News Updates and the
DES Facebook Page noted below. Lastly, the results of past DES member surveys,
general DES related University information and Frequently Asked Questions are available
on the site.
To access
the DES Website, log on to www.depaul.edu,
go to the Office of Mission and Values by clicking first on “DePaul Shortcuts”
then “Faculty and Staff.” Once on the
Office of Mission and Values site, click on “Programs, Services & Events.” On the dropdown, click on DePaul Emeritus
Society. Or, you can go directly to the
DES Website by typing: https://mission.depaul.edu/Programs/DES/Pages/default.aspx
DES NEWSLETTER AND DES NEWS UPDATES
The DES
Newsletter is mailed to retirees’ homes semi-annually in June and December and
includes announcements about forthcoming activities, benefit updates, news of
the activities of our retirees and often an article written by one of our DES
members. In between publications, DePaul
news of interest to retirees is “published” on the DES News Updates blog page. Information regarding upcoming events, major
University news, announcements of the death of DES members, and general items
of interest to retirees is included. You can chose to receive the updates
electronically by “subscribing” to the DES News Updates or you can visit the
site when you have the time and interest.
To access DES News Updates type http://desretirees.blogspot.com/
DES FACEBOOK PAGE
The DES
has its own Facebook page where any retiree can join to discuss issues, share
ideas and information of interest with other DePaul retirees. Future DES events are also posted on the page. To join the DES Facebook page you must already
have a personal Facebook account. Information regarding joining the DES
Facebook page is provided on the DES Website mentioned above and the page can
