Retirees Association

Welcome!

Founded in 1988, the UCSC Retirees Association is open to all retired faculty and staff. If you are retired, congratulations! You are now able to enjoy a change of pace and other rewards of 'honorably retired' life. One of these benefits is that you are eligible for membership in the UCSC Retirees Association (UCSCRA).

The Association has four primary objectives:

• Support a continuing affiliation with UC and UC Santa Cruz
• Serve as the advocate for post-employment benefits, in concert with the Council of UC Retiree Associations (CUCRA)
• Promote opportunities for interaction among retirees
• Serve the University as advocates, ambassadors, and volunteers.

We invite you to join our growing membership

Silver Slug Scholarship

The Retirees Association maintains an ongoing commitment to UCSC students by raising money for the Silver Slug Scholarship Fund. The Board of Directors has designated that scholarships be directed to students who have served in the United States military. Last year the Association awarded six $500 scholarships to student veterans.

Members of the Retirees Association contribute to the scholarship fund in various ways. Some who benefited from the WWII GI Bill of Right have given back by contributing. Gifts are also being accepted in memory of Bruce Lane, a amember of the UCSC community between 1964 and 1991. Members also donate fees earned from serving as election workers and participants in campus research projects. Retirees also support the fund by donating and purchasing books, CDs, and DVDs, and filling the collection jar at our social events.
