  2. Recipient of all appropriate newsletters and publication from the University. 
  3. Recipient of a formal certificate of emerita/emeritus status. Newly awarded faculty receive a certificate and pin from the University President at a pinning ceremony held in Hobart Manor.  
  4. Recipient of a University identification card. New emerita/emeritus faculty should update their ID cards to reflect emerita/emeritus status online (https://www.wpunj.edu/hospitality/id-center/online-photo-submission)  or in person in the Office of Hospitality Services in University Commons Room 217.
  5. Access to a University email account. Emerita/emeritus faculty will receive notification of upcoming EFA events using the William Paterson University email account unless specific permission is given to use a personal account. (The William Paterson University email account can be set up to automatically forward messages to a personal account; see >>> for instructions.) 
  6. Access to the faculty/staff parking lots. Parking on Campus https://www.wpunj.edu/police/parking/ 
  7. Access to the David and Lorraine Cheng Library and library electronic databases.  The David and Lorraine Cheng Library now offers a dedicated workspace for emeriti faculty in Room 204. The room currently contains 10 chairs arranged around two long tables as it doubles as a group space (either multiple emeriti doing work or a group of emeriti who might like to hold a meeting). If not in use by emeriti, the room is reservable by others (e.g., students, staff, faculty). Emeriti have priority. A key to reserve the Room 204 can be obtained at the Lending Desk, which is on the ground floor by the main entrance. An advance reservation can be made by phone to the Lending Desk: 973-720-3180. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to engage Dean Edward Owusu- Ansah.
