emerita
Retired professor's designation
Emerita is the feminine form of emeritus, designating a woman who has retired from a professional position but retains her title as an honor: professor emerita, dean emerita.
The title follows the noun it modifies.
Some institutions now use emeritus for all genders, making emerita less common than it once was.
