If you are electing to retire by August 31, 2024, and you qualify for the official title of Emeritus/Emerita as described by the Faculty Manual (below), please note that there are two independent steps to start your retirement process.
- Step One: make an appointment with a Human Resources Benefits Counselor.
- Step two: contact the Emeritus College, independently from your human resources benefit appointment, to initiate your membership in the Emeritus College.
- See the
- 2023-2024 Retirement Guidebook for more information about these steps.
The Emeritus College will host a Hybrid Lunch Q & A for active faculty on February 22, 2024, beginning at 12:00 pm.
- This informal program will consist of a panel of emeritus faculty, HR benefits coordinators, and a PEBA representative to answer questions about what to expect when retiring, how to prepare for retirement, and to learn about opportunities post-retirement. The Emeritus College will provide a light lunch for those who attend in person.
- If you plan to attend the Hybrid Lunch – in person –
you must RSVP by February 15, 2024, at our EventBrite link.
