New Beginnings: Jumpstarting the Rest of Your Life

In September 2022, the Office of Academic Affairs launched New Beginnings: Jumpstarting the Rest of Your Life as an innovative program to provide support for our senior faculty colleagues at any stage of contemplating or preparing for retirement. Our program provides resources including 1:1 and couples/family consultation with Iris Litt and workshops with retired faculty and school/university representatives that can speak to retirement from different perspectives.

We encourage you to check out our resources below.
