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.

Vincentian Service Day 2016




DePaul University
Dear Members of the University Community:

Join more than 1,500 DePaul student, staff, faculty and alumni volunteers across Chicago on Saturday, May 7 for our 18th Annual Vincentian Service Day 2016. Volunteers serve at more than 50 community organizations, and truly put the mission in action. All DePaul students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited to participate.

Registration is now open for individuals and team leaders. But hurry, as space is limited. To register and for additional information, please visit serviceday.depaul.edu.

Inspired by the legacy of St. Vincent de Paul, Vincentian Service Day is one of DePaul’s most significant traditions, and makes the DePaul community an effective presence in the Chicagoland area. This year the event is framed around the issue of homelessness, and we will have special guest speakers and a social media advocacy action. After completing service, volunteers are invited back to the Lincoln Park Quad for the Service & Justice Fair, which will feature food, art, activities and music.

If you are unable to join us on campus, we encourage you to acknowledge this Vincentian tradition by serving others in your immediate community. We look forward to sharing this legacy with you on Saturday, May 7 at Vincentian Service Day 2016.

Sincerely,

Student Affairs
University Ministry/Vincentian Community Service Office
