About the HCC Professor Emeritus Program
The status and title of Emeritus are not entitlements; rather they are conferred by the Board upon certain faculty by Hillsborough Community College for the purpose of recognizing a faculty member after retirement for distinguished and long-term achievements and service.
The criteria for this title are measured in terms of the individual’s total contribution to the College, based upon both achievement and service. Any faculty member, with the rank of Professor, retiring after at least fifteen years of full-time service may be recommended to the College President for Emeritus status.
Candidates for the Emeritus status must meet these criteria:
• be held in high esteem by students and colleagues;
• have received evaluations recognizing effectiveness throughout his/her tenure;
• participated actively in departmental and institution-wide committees over a substantial period of time; and
• judged to have contributed to the strengthening and/or advancement of the educational programs of Hillsborough Community College.
