Organizations to Consider

CSUF Emeriti

This is the local organization for faculty and staff members who have been granted emeritus status. Membership in the Emeriti is an excellent way to stay in touch with friends and acquaintances and keep informed of campus activities. Keeping in touch is a two-way street—you should keep the Emeriti informed of your significant activities. Contact The Emeriti Center, Pollak Library North - Room PLN 433. (By the way, upon your demise, your spouse may continue as an associate member of the Emeriti, should he or she wish to do so.)

The CSUF Emeriti hold several luncheon meetings with speakers or entertainment and one or two outings during the academic year. Membership in the Emeriti costs $15 per year. Information about Emeriti activities is available on the Emeriti web site and through our email list. To be added to the Emeriti email list send email to mshapiro@fullerton.edu.
