Nineteen people were honored for their efforts in helping make Fresno State a world class institution.
The honorees are tenured faculty members and an academic administrator, just retired.
Paul Beare, dean of Fresno State's education department said, "It's a nice honor. You have lifetime library privileges, you get a parking pass, you get discounts for various things on campus... mostly it's an honor to be listed as such."
The Emeritus Awards were handed out at an annual ceremony.
