Honoring the New Emeritus Professors
Last month at the University Museum, President Judith Rodin was host to a new kind of year-end ceremony as she gave out certificates to most
of the 62 members of the faculty who are becoming emeritus professors this year. Having so many of them together in one place, she said, "re
minds me of the wealth of experience and scholarly expertise, wisdom and common sense, that is gathered around us here every day.
"Penn, today, could not aspire to be among the very few leaders in higher education and research tomorrow, were it not for the strong founda
tion of excellence and leadership to which each of you, our honorees, has made important contributions."
As the strategic plan and the 21st Century Project go forward, she added, "Provost Chodorow and I are very conscious of the fact that we are
building on, and in many cases bringing to full flower, changes you and others began long ago. Rest assured that we will look to you for continued
guidance, historical perspectiveand even occasionally, more hard workin the years ahead."
