The Emeriti Association serves the interests of all retired Cal State LA faculty. In their behalf, its Executive Committee meets periodically with the President of the University and with the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate to discuss matters of mutual concern. Its elected Senator represents emeriti in matters considered by the Academic Senate.
Through close working relationships with the University administration and the Academic Senate, the Association is expanding and improving the services available to emeriti faculty.
