Whether you are near retirement, considering it in the future, or are simply curious about what retirement could look like for you as a faculty member, planning for your retirement is important at every stage of your career. 

Join Dr. Brian Zink, the Senior Associate Dean for Faculty & Faculty Development to enjoy refreshments and heavy hors d’oeuvres, network with your colleagues, and envision what your future could look like as emeritus faculty.  

The University of Michigan Benefits Office as well as a team from Fidelity and TIAA will also be present to answer any questions about your U-M retirement plan and can be available for one-on-one discussions on-site.
