The Berkeley Emeriti Academy

The Berkeley Emeriti Academy is a  community of UC Berkeley emeriti scholars committed to continuing their contributions to the Berkeley campus and beyond. Retired faculty who chose to participate in the Emeriti Academy can use the honorary title "Professor of the Emeriti Academy." The Academy is a program run through the Berkeley Retirement Center, with support from the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost.

The UC Berkeley Emeriti Academy facilitates creative projects and collaborations among emeriti/ae  from different disciplines. Activities can involve, but are not limited to, teaching, mentoring, study panels, or other special projects.

Note:  The Emeriti Academy Programming board has adopted the term “emeriti” for the name of the Academy.  Although we recognize that some may interpret the term as referring to men only, we intend it to be gender-inclusive, referring to those who identify as men, as women, and as nonbinary.
