EMERITUS FACULTY
An emeritus is a retired college professor or minister. When a professor stops teaching, he/she might be given the title of emeritus, which basically means he/she can still be remembered as a successful professor. The word emeritus, pronounced "eh-MER-ih-tus," is Latin, originally meaning "veteran soldier."
