The Committee monitors the benefits that retired faculty receive from the University. It draws upon the concerns and priorities of our members to identify possible improvements to benefit programs and makes recommendations for the college to pursue.

Co-chairs: Paul Marantz and Joost Blom

The Continuing Scholarly Activity and Engagement Committee supports scholarly interests of the members, and looks for ways to engage them within the College. The committee has a "think tank" format whereby we develop new proposals to present to the College. At present, the committee is initiating actions within the College in support of our Indigenous Strategic Plan.

The Transitions to Retirement Committee focuses on activities over the entire retirement spectrum including pre-retirement seminars, informal discussion groups, collation of information resources and activities directed at the early, mid and late stages of retirement. There would also be an opportunity for research projects focused on the retirement process itself.
