As president of Faculty Council from 1992 to 1995, she handled stressful situations with balance, intelligence and a sense of humor. In addition to her time as president, she served as a Faculty Council representative for more than 10 years and volunteered for task forces related to compensation, university governance and contingent faculty. She held several roles, including president, in the DePaul chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, an academic honor society. She helped guide the university’s future by serving on the University Strategic Planning Coordinating Committee from 1993 to 1995. On the college level, she lent her wisdom to the Graduate Curriculum Committee for six years, including two terms as chair, and served on the Long-range Planning and Positioning Committee. From 1995 to 2001, she led the Department of Economics as chair. Moreover, she generously shared her time with master’s level students as a student advisor and thesis advisor. Dr. Oppenheimer also expressed her devotion to DePaul by participating in activities that helped enhance the university’s Vincentian heritage. In 2004, she became an inaugural member of the Society of Vincent de Paul Professors, an organization of faculty with the goal of enhancing the educational mission of the university in ways consistent with its distinctive values. Later, she served on the society’s membership committee. From 1999 to 2006, she was a board member of the Vincentian Endowment Fund, which finances grant projects that directly enhance the identity of DePaul as a Catholic, Vincentian and urban university with special attention to the Catholic and Vincentian aspects of this identity. Her career has been a model that colleagues and students alike can emulate.
