Professor Emeritus Tsuyoshi Hasegawa

Professor Hasegawa will use the Dickson Emeriti Professorship to enhance and expand two collaborative projects on which he has already embarked, the Kruzhok and the Desert Workshop.

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.

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

Learn About Two 2027 Collette Adventures!

UC Retirees Travel offers worldwide group tours for retired UC staff and faculty as well as their friends and family. Join them to learn about two different 2027 tours with Collette: “Colors of Morocco,” March 7-21, 2027, and “Essential South America, Including Iguazu Falls,” April 8-20, 2027. Jay Fehan from Collette will preview the trip itineraries and answer questions. These two trips are nearing their deadlines to release our unsold spaces to the public (deadline is August 8 for Morocco and September 9 for South America). If you are interested in traveling on either of these trips, learn more during this webinar and register before the deadlines so you don’t miss out.

Jay is Collette’s business development manager for Northern California, Oregon, and Northern Nevada. He previously worked as a full-time tour manager in the U.S., South Pacific, Australia, and Ireland, before assuming his current role. He has been with Collette Travel for 35 years and has a wealth of knowledge about these tours.

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.

Information about Rehired Retirees is Now Located on the Emeriti Retirees Center website.

The Emeriti Association's recorded webinars are on hiatus as we remediate them to meet current accessibility standards. They will be re-loaded as soon as possible. Questions? Contact Ellen Pasternack, or call 805-893-2168.
