2024 Member Survey 

For our members, active retirement is the rule not the exception

To better understand our members – how they are spending their time, their interests and activities – we put together a long list of survey questions and invited comments.

It was heartening to learn that most respondents reported being happy or extremely happy with their post-retirement experience, and that active retirement is the rule not the exception.

This survey asked more about on-going professional activities than previous surveys because this helps us emphasize the importance of emeriti to the university. We added sections on involvement in community volunteering and leisure activities of members as this helps people planning to retire realize there is “life after retirement” and presents opportunities to members.
