Dear Retired Faculty and Faculty on Phased Retirement,

Thank you for responding to the Needs Assessment recently distributed to retired & retiring faculty by the Faculty Development Program. With this email we're responding to your feedback.

We, Ruth Davis and Diane Jonte-Pace, have been asked to serve as "Retiree Liaisons" for Faculty Development. We're delighted to be working with Eileen Elrod and the Faculty Development team in this new role. 

One of your requests in the Needs Assessment was for information and programming related to retirement. We'd like to bring to your attention a seminar on the Human Resources schedule for this winter --

Jim Briggs will be on campus to offer a seminar on "Retirement and Purposeful Aging:  What Will It Mean For You?"Date: 8:15 am - 12:30 pm, January 31, 2023.  Registration for Jim's seminar is through HR's website for Professional Development Workshops:https://www.scu.edu/hr/calendars/workshops/#!view/event/event_id/312793I (Diane) took this seminar three years ago and found it very helpful. I'm planning to attend again.

Another request was for a shared contact list of retired faculty.  Before proceeding with a distribution of names and email addresses, we need to ask you whether you would like to be included on the list.  Please use this form to let us know. 

We're planning to distribute occasional "Retiree Updates" with information relevant to retiring and retired faculty.  If you have news, ideas, or events that we should share with others, please email us.

 

Many thanks,

Diane Jonte-Pace, Professor Emerita, Religious Studies

Ruth Davis, Professor, Engineering
