Dr. Milton Katz Named Professor Emeritus at KCAI Retirement Event
11.25.2024
The rank of Professor Emeritus is designated and appointed by the Board of Trustees after recommendation by the President, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Department Chairs.
While Dr. Milton Katz plans to continue teaching at the Kansas City Art Institute, it will be in a limited capacity. This rank of Professor Emeritus is a special honor that may be assigned to Professors who have limited or terminated their responsibilities as a ranked faculty member for valid reasons (e.g., retirement, illness) after ten or more years of distinguished service to the Institute.
In addition to the ranking, Katz was already the first faculty member to receive every special faculty award: Excellence in Teaching, Outstanding Special Project, and Distinguished Achievement awards. More background on his career can be found here.
