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.

(Association of Retirement Organizations
in Higher Education) |
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.
