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.

Meeting number 621 307 382

Jen Rupp provided the following information: "I will work on putting together an email to send to all retirees who are either eligible for Medicare Advantage or have a spouse that is eligible for it.   The email will include the dates for the sessions and also the link and phone number for the webinar (the phone number was not included in the letter from BCBS because normally when somebody logs into the webinar, the phone number will be provided at that time).  That way even if somebody doesn’t have the ability to watch the webinar, they can still call in and listen to the presentation."

Thank you Jen.
