What emeritus status means
Emeritus status is a formal recognition, approved by the Provost on a department's nomination, for faculty who retire in good standing after a substantial career at Porter — not automatic, and not available to every retiree.
What it actually provides
Continued library borrowing privileges, a university email address, a parking permit and a listing in the faculty directory, plus standing invitations to commencement and department events.
In and around Porter Falls
The Center for Teaching & Learning on the third level of Halvorsen Library is where new faculty get their footing and where mid-career instructors trade notes across colleges.
The practical details
Eligibility: Full-time faculty retiring in good standing after 15+ years. Privileges: Library access, email, parking, listed in the directory. Nominated by: The retiring faculty member's department. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Center for Teaching & Learning (Halvorsen Library, Level 3). Call (715) 555–0265 or email teaching@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
