Opportunities and Privileges for DePaul’s Staff Retirees
DePaul University values the important contributions of its staff retirees. The
DePaul University Staff Emeritus Society was founded in 2003 to strengthen
ties between the university and its staff retirees, and foster their continued
participation in the DePaul University community. The Society is sponsored
by the Office of Mission and Values.
Membership in the Staff Emeritus Society (SES) is open to all staff who have
retired from the university with 20 years of full-time service and are 55 years
or older, or have retired from the university with 10 years of full-time service
and are 62 years or older. Retired staff members meeting these criteria
are eligible for the university’s retiree health and prescription drug
benefit package.
SES Members enjoy a range of benefits and privileges:
- Communications and University Resources
SES members always have a direct connection to DePaul. Members retain
a university ID card and e-mail address, and may use faculty/staff/alumni
computer labs, photocopiers and computer printers upon opening a Demon Express
Account.
Benefits include access to all university libraries, including electronic
resources and borrowing privileges with ILLINET Online libraries, the services
of Campus Connect, DePaul’s Internet portal, the Technology Assistance
Center, and DePaul Town Square.
Members receive university communications in both paper and online formats,
including Newsline, DePaul Magazine, SES Newsletter, and the DePaul
Information Directory.
- Special Events and Volunteer Opportunities
SES members enjoy a full calendar of social occasions, including invitations
to twice yearly luncheons, the university picnic each summer, the Distinguished
Service Award luncheon, Music School performances, and the All Souls’ remembrance.
In addition, retirees are invited to participate in the bi-annual Vincentian
Heritage Tour for Faculty and Staff.
Retirees can contribute to DePaul through volunteer service. Opportunities
include Vincentian Service Day, serving on select university committees, or
working on specific events or programs, such as Commencement, University Ministry
Parents’ Weekend, or the university’s Annual Giving campaign.
Members receive discounts on course tuition, university parking, athletic
events, Theatre and Music School productions, Ray Meyer Fitness Center use,
and at university bookstores.
