After a two-year delay caused by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, Northwestern honored the 2020, 2021 and 2022 faculty members who have been appointed to emeritus and emerita status during a Nov. 12 ceremony in Evanston. In total, 167 faculty have earned emeriti status over the past three years.

“The appointment to emeritus status recognizes Northwestern’s gratitude for your service and our institution’s desire that, even as our very best faculty members retire from full-time service to the University, they formally remain a part of our outstanding academic community,” Provost Kathleen Hagerty said.

The numbers for the past three classes of emeriti are impressive:

  • The Class of 2020 comprises 36 new emeriti faculty with a combined 1,079 years of service.
  • The Class of 2021 comprises 51 new emeriti faculty with a combined 1,614 years of service.
  • And the Class of 2022 comprises 80 new emeriti faculty with a combined 2,553 years of experience.

The emeriti represented every eligible school at Northwestern as well as the libraries.

During her remarks, Hagerty took a moment to recognize three members of the faculty who are now deceased:

  • Stephen Davis, Professor Emeritus of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics
  • Lewis Landsberg, Irving S. Cutter Chair of Medicine Emeritus
  • Dawn Mora, Senior Lecturer Emerita of Theatre

“We extend Northwestern’s deepest sympathy and appreciation for their service to their loved ones,” Hagerty said.
