Our Emeritus Faculty
From distinguished criminologists to celebrated nurses and decorated historians to renowned mathematicians, Regis University’s emeritus faculty represent a vast spectrum of academia. Though they’ve retired, their impact endures.
From computer science to religious studies, each academic field at Regis shares an important commonality: They were all made better by our emeritus faculty members.
What does Emeritus mean?
Emeritus is a special designation earned by faculty members who retain their rank or title, and various privileges in the Regis community, after retirement.
