About UCRAB
The UC Retirees' Association at Berkeley (UCRAB) serves critically important functions to ensure that a level of benefits appropriate to retiree needs is maintained by campus and statewide University of California administrators. A strong and large association guarantees that voices and concerns are noticed.
The campus associations gain enormous leverage from being part of the Council of University of California Retiree Associations (CUCRA) and organizations like the Staff Assembly that represent members throughout the University of California system.
In addition to advocacy efforts, UCRAB offers social and travel events – quarterly luncheons with speakers from the scholarly and cultural world of the campus and broader Bay Area, day trips to nearby attractions such as Monterey Bay Aquarium, Angel Island and Sonoma, and occasional longer trips by public transport to special locations such as Hearst Castle and Yosemite National Park.
