Faculty Emeriti

Fuller faculty emeriti are those faculty who have retired but still hold an honorary title that corresponds with their last held title during their active service. We esteem these scholars for their exemplary service and their important contributions to their respective fields, and we are honored to include them in the Fuller community. Faculty emeriti may continue to research and publish in their fields, but no longer actively mentor students or teach courses.
