Faculty electing to retire by August 31, 2025, and who qualify for the official title of Emeritus/Emerita as described by the Faculty Manual, should note that there are two independent steps to start the retirement process.
Step I: Make an appointment with a Human Resources Benefits Counselor.
Step II: Contact the Emeritus College, independently from your human resources benefit appointment, to initiate your membership in the Emeritus College.
- See the 2024-2025 Retirement Guidebook for more information about these steps.
- Complete Step I and Step II by the close of business Friday, March 14, 2025, to participate in this year’s emeritus recognition ceremony to be held April 22, 2025, at the Madren Center.
- This deadline is firm and necessary to merge and verify data and to make appropriate arrangements for the April recognition ceremony.
The Emeritus College will host a Hybrid Lunch Q&A for active faculty on February 20, 2025, beginning at noon.
- 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.
- Access the invitation for the hybrid lunch.
- If you plan to attend the Hybrid Lunch – in person – you must RSVP by February 14, 2025, using our registration form linked below.
- Registration to attend in person (lunch included)
