Retirees

The following is a letter to all retired faculty and staff from the President of the Boston University Society of Retired Faculty and Staff Dick Vidale:

Message from the President

The Boston University Society of Retired Faculty and Staff is an organization dedicated to serving the retirees of Boston University. Our mission is to foster members’ continued relationship with the University and further the interests and needs of retired University personnel. We do this through our Lunch/Learn Program, Retiree nights/days at BU, Boston sporting events, and our Annual Luncheon and Business Meeting in May. We present a pre-retirement seminar each spring to help faculty and staff prepare for retirement. And, we administer a Grants Program to help retirees pursue professional and personal interests.

Membership in our Society is automatic for employees who, upon retirement, were age 55 or older and had 10 or more years of service, or for those who have been appointed as an Emeritus Professor, regardless of their age or years of service. As a member, you will receive invitations to the various events we sponsor.

Members of the Society also are entitled to all benefits and privileges listed on the Retiree Perks page. To take advantage of many of these benefits, you will need a Boston University Retiree ID card, which can be obtained through Human Resources, 25 Buick Street, Boston. Please telephone 617-353-2380 to make arrangements to obtain your card.

Throughout the year, our spring and fall newsletters will keep you informed of various activities and events in which you may wish to participate. Your suggestions for programs and activities are always welcomed.

On behalf of the Society, I wish you many fulfilling and rewarding retirement years ahead.

Cordially,
Dick Vidale, President
