Established by the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation, the Advisor Emeritus program is a select group of retired or retiring advisors who, after providing extraordinary leadership and achieving success, are invited to continue their engagement and support of the Society based on their interests and expertise in Phi Theta Kappa's programs. They must be nominated by a Phi Theta Kappa headquarters staff member. Then, an Advisor Emeritus Nominating Committee makes an annual recommendation to the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation Executive Committee for approval, and an announcement is made at the Association of Chapter Advisors Luncheon at Convention each year.
To be selected, the advisor must meet a majority of the following criteria:
- Retired/retiring from serving as an advisor
- Length of service of five years or greater
- High level of contributions or engagement (Board Member, Regional Coordinator, Association of Chapters Advisors officer, Faculty Scholar, Honors Program Council, Advisor Continued Excellence Award, international distinguished chapter awards)
- Extensive knowledge and expertise of Phi Theta Kappa and its programs
- Desire to continue the Phi Theta Kappa Experience
- Commitment to improving opportunities for community college students
- History of providing financial support of programs
