The distinguished philosopher John Perry–one of the leading contributors to philosophy of language and mind over the past thirty-five years–will retire from Stanford University effective September 1, 2008 (he turns 65 this year), and take up a half-time position in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California at Riverside, where he will teach two graduate seminars each year.  That’s a major coup for Riverside, since Perry has also been, throughout his career, an important mentor for young philosophers. 

Perry will also be "called back" at Stanford, and so will continue teaching half-time there, although he will be officially emeritus.
