For Senior Faculty
New Beginnings: Jumpstarting the Rest of Your Life!
We are here to provide guidance and support for decision-making and implementation of transition strategies and decision-making about retirement, as well as other life events at this time.
Our program, New Beginnings: Jumpstarting the Rest of Your Life, is designed to provide support for our senior faculty. Our September 2022 kick-off zoom workshops included perspectives from retired faculty on the transition process to retirement including what they found helpful as resources, what they wished they had known before retiring, and what they are currently doing. We also highlighted key takeaways and findings from OAA’s senior faculty and emeriti faculty surveys initiated in May 2022. Please access the workshop recordings and information in the presented materials link below. More workshops will be forthcoming in the future.
