Is there a reason you ask? If you want to study with an emeritus, that is unlikely, depending on how much they want to be involved with students.

Asking because I talked to the program director today for a bit (half hour, actually), and he said he'd put me in touch with two faculty members whose interests align with mine. But one is an emeritus, so I was a bit confused after looking her up.
Though apparently, the way they do it at this school is you're not just assigned to one mentor the whole time--you work with a few different people, then pick the main one.
