Distinguished Emeritus & Service Awards
The Distinguished Emeritus title is granted to faculty whose professional contributions, before and since retirement, to Emory and its affiliated institutions and to communities and professional organizations, reflect the "spirit" of Emory.
A selection committee evaluates nominations and four Emeritus College faculty members are chosen for the honor. Nominations are normally solicited in early spring.
