SF State Emeritus Staff

San Francisco State University recognizes the significant contributions long-serving staff make to the history and fabric of the University community, and the relationships many staff build in their service to the University with its students, alumni and faculty.

Under 14^th President Lynn Mahoney, in support of Academic Senate resolution Number: RF16-354, San Francisco State University instituted an Emeritus Staff program. This program will acknowledge its valued staff and remain connected with them once they depart the university, to express gratitude for their years of service and their commitment to students. All staff are ambassadors of Gator pride and are invited to this program upon retirement from the university.
