"Faculty Thriving in Retirement" Panel Discussion: Tuesday, November 1, 3:00 - 4:30 pm (via Zoom)
Faculty considering retirement (or faculty who recently retired) are invited to join "Faculty Thriving in Retirement," a moderated panel discussion with retired faculty on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, 3:00 - 4:30 pm via Zoom.
Facilitated by Professors Emeritus/a Phil Cowan, Carolyn Cowan, and Sheldon Zedeck, all members of the Department of Psychology, this session is designed for faculty who are contemplating all of the opportunities that retirement may offer. As part of the first panel, three emeriti will share their experiences with transitioning from active to retired faculty. As part of the second panel, two emeriti, joined by their partners, will talk about how they experienced the transition as a family. Faculty family members/partners are strongly encourage to attend.
Topics include: How to continue your academic interests, your relationships with your non‐retiring colleagues, and what will this transition be like for your family.
This workshop is held in partnership with the Emeriti Association (UCBEA), the Retirement Center (UCBRC), and the Office of the Associate Vice Provost for the Faculty.
