New Resources for Emeriti & Retirees

Check out the new section on the CUCRA website entitled “Resources”. Currently, the site contains Legacy Planning checklists and links to different series of webinars, including the new "Confident Retiree" webinars. These resources were developed by the Office of the President based on input they received from CUCRA (Council of UC Retirees Associations) and CUCEA (Council of UC Emeriti Associations). 

UC’s Confident Retiree Webinar Series provides retirees and emeriti with the knowledge, tools and resources to enjoy a comfortable retirement. This webinar will cover actionable steps to help you make the most of your income and savings by understanding how to address key challenges like inflation and market volatility.  

Friends and family are encouraged to attend!

NEXT WEEK!

Meet with Andrew Fung, Fidelity NetBenefits. Next in-person, 45-minute appointment dates are on the following Thursdays: July 16; August 13; September 13.

UC Retirees Travel offers worldwide group tours for retired UC staff and faculty as well as their friends and family.

Attacks against UC retirees: Staying safe in a digital world

Following up on recent attempts to defraud UC retirees, UCNet has created a new webpage delineating what the University of California is doing to protect you and what steps you can take to keep yourself and your data safe. 

The Charting The Journey to a Fulfilling Retirement webinar series offers a valuable opportunity to do just that. This national series frames retirement as a period of reinvention rather than withdrawal, and introduces fresh perspectives on purpose, identity, health, cognitive vitality, and engagement beyond full-time academic work. Instead of focusing narrowly on logistics or financial planning, it encourages faculty to think more broadly about what comes next—and invites institutions to think more intentionally about later-career pathways.
