Fresno State Emeriti and Retirees Association
Welcome to the Fresno State Emeriti and
Retired Faculty Association Website!
The Fresno State Emeriti and Retirees Association (ERA) consists of Emeriti professors, retired faculty, librarians, and administrators who support the continuation of scholarly and creative activities, maintain an active connection with the campus and use their expertise and talents as an ongoing resource for the University. ERA also seeks to advocate for the interests of its members.
Fresno ERA is affiliated with the California State University Emeritus & Retired Faculty & Staff Association (CSU-ERFSA), and all retired and emeritus California State University faculty members, including those currently in the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP), are invited and encouraged to join. When you join CSU-ERFSA you automatically become a member of Fresno ERA. Learn more about CSU-ERFSA.
