Inside UNBProfessor Emeritus
The honorary rank of Professor Emerita/us is awarded, upon or after retirement from active academic duties, to professors who have served the University with distinction. Distinguished service shall consist of teaching performance recognized by colleagues and students to be of exceptional merit, extensive research and publications of unusually high quality, contribution to the administration and development of the University of a creative kind, or a combination of some or all of these, and a record of professional conduct that indicates fair and ethical treatment of students and other members of the academic community. The rank is considered the equivalent of an honorary degree. It carries no duties or obligations, but its holder may be called upon for advice or counsel.
The Professor Emeritus Committee (composed of the President, Vice-President Fredericton (Academic), Vice-President (Saint John), and faculty members on the University Honorary Degrees Committee) hereby invites nominations for this rank to be awarded in 2013 and beyond. Nominations should be sent to the University Secretary and must include a full updated c.v. of the candidate as well as a short statement (1-2 pages) summarizing the nominee’s major contribution(s) to the University.
Nominations may be made by any member of faculty; however, the Committee requests that recommendations from individual faculty members be accompanied by a letter of support from the Chair and/or Dean in addition to the other documentation mentioned above.
Nominations and all supporting documentation should be sent to the University Secretary by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 8 February 2013. The honorary rank of Professor Emeritus/ta will be formally conferred at a convocation of the University.
