Welcome!

Founded in 1988, the UC Santa Cruz Retirees Association is open to all current and 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 a membership in the Retirees Association.


We invite you to join our growing membership.

Join us for social and informational events and opportunities and connect with lifelong friends and colleagues.
