A quick definition of president emeritus:

President Emeritus: An honorary title given to a former leader who has retired after serving for a long time. It is not the same as being a former or retired leader. The term is sometimes used to mean "honored." The plural forms are emeriti for men and emeritae for women. It is a type of honorary title.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: President Emeritus is an honorary title given to a former officer who has retired after serving for an extended period, usually beyond the normal term. It is not a synonym for "former," "retired," or "immediate past."

Examples:

John Smith served as the president of the university for 20 years. After his retirement, he was given the title of President Emeritus in recognition of his service.
Dr. Jane Doe was the CEO of the hospital for 15 years. When she retired, she was awarded the title of CEO Emeritus.

These examples illustrate how the title of President Emeritus is given to individuals who have served in a leadership position for an extended period and have retired with honor. It is a way to recognize their contributions and show appreciation for their service.

I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)
