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.

In Memoriam - Dawn McKesey

It is with sadness that we have learned of the death on February 6 of Dawn G. McKesey, who was The Theatre School's Draper/Cutter, Costumiere, and Assistant Costume Shop Manager for 35 years until her retirement in 2014. She quietly but firmly shared her exquisite professional skills with generations of students and greatly enjoyed watching them grow and mature over the four years from their time as freshman until graduation.

Funerals services will take place Saturday, February 22, 2020 at 1pm at Cooney Funeral Home, 3918 W. Irving Park in Chicago, with interment to follow at Maryhill Cemetery, 8600 N. Milwaukee in Niles.  Viewing is this evening, Friday, February 21 from 3pm-8pm also at Cooney.
Our condolences go to Dawn's family.  May she rest in peace.
