THE ATENEO de Manila conferred the title of Professor Emeritus in four academicians last week.

They are Fr. Adolfo Dacanay SJ of the Theology Department, Dr. Cristina Montiel of Psychology, Fr. Bienvenido Nebres SJ of Mathematics, and Dr. Emma Porio of Sociology and Anthropology.

The University said the rank of Professor Emeritus is conferred on those who have reached formal retirement, selected based on their “distinguished academic record and University service.”

Each of the honorees had been in service for many years, whether as teachers, researchers, or administrators, it added.

“With this honor, we recognize your accomplishments, contributions, and the impact each of you has had on Ateneo, the larger community, and the world,” Ateneo President Fr. Roberto Yap SJ said.

“Your words and actions embody the University’s mission of excellence in teaching and learning, research, service, and formation,” he added.
