Historical Note
Emeritus Professors in Columbia (EPIC) was founded in 1998 by Emeritus Professor of Physics Samuel Devons and constitutes a professional and social fellowship of retired professors, who share the common experience of extensive careers in education and wish to pursue intellectual interests or render further service to the University community. Originally, EPIC cooperated closely with the board of advisors at Faculty House, where it kept an office, in efforts to reinvigorate the facility as a hub of intellectual activity and faculty fellowship. Since 2004, the EPIC charter was broadened, extending admission to membership to all retired tenured professors, researchers and administrators who were involved with academic programs.
