SCU Events of Interest--Retirees Invited

Benefits for Retirees

As announced in previous Retiree Updates, beginning in August 2023, the SCU Human Resources Department will provide one year of free membership in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) to eligible retired faculty and staff, to be redeemed within the first two years of retirement. This is a wonderful introductory offer into the Lifelong Learning Institute here at Santa Clara. Eligibility:  Participants must be retired faculty or retired staff (Staff Policy 624 or Faculty Retirement). To take part in this offering, please contact the Osher office at 408-554-2382 or olliatscu.edu@gmail.com. 

See scu.edu/osher for a complete list of course offerings and events. (Membership is required for registration in OLLI classes. There is an additional fee for each class.)

You may have received an email from the SCU Technology Help Desk regarding Duo 2FA (two factor authentication) for your email.  For security reasons, Duo 2FA is now required for SCU emeritus email accounts. Check out this link to enroll or contact Ray Savellano at the Technology Help Desk for assistance with set up: rsavellano@scu.edu.  

The SCU Transportation office has announced an extension of the permit-non-enforcement period through September 4, 2023. Information will be forthcoming soon regarding free parking permits for retired faculty.

We hope you are enjoying your summer travels. SCU retirees have journeyed to Greece and Turkey, Japan, Egypt, Canada, Scotland, France, Poland, Denmark, and Portugal, and--closer to home--to Monterey, Tahoe, Los Angeles, and beyond.  

A reminder about future travel opportunities: SCU’s Alumni office has extended an invitation to retirees to participate in their travel program. This summer the Alumni office organized a cruise to Alaska, which sold out. Watch for 2024 announcements of future SCU Alumni travel plans.
