The designation of professor emerita is an honorary title, but some universities attach great

prestige to it and award it only to their most distinguished retired professors, while others treat it
more as a perk of retirement and a reward for years of service. Upon retirement from the
University, both faculty and librarians may be considered for emeritus status, a lifelong
designation that recognizes the achievements of those with meritorious records. It is expected
that consideration of an emeritus appointment will be made by the appointing unit at the time of
retirement.
It is an honor for IME department faculty and students, as the dean of the department of
