Retirement

On the Stanford Sweeteners page, there is a “retiree” filter that makes it easy for retirees to see all the perks, benefits, and rewards exclusive to retirees. This will include things like campus events, access to golf courses and the rec center, online news subscriptions, and so many other benefits!

The decision to retire can involve a complex combination of personal and professional considerations, and can require information from a variety of sources. 

Faculty members who become official university retirees receive the emeritus or emerita title authorized by the Board of Trustees and become senior members of the Academic Council with privileges of the floor and of service on committees, but without the right to vote or hold office.
