Opportunities for Service
Graduation – Retirees provide a valuable service by ushering at the commencement ceremonies every semester.
Helping at campus events – From time to time, departments on campus may request retirees to serve as ushers, hosts, docents, guides, proctors, facilitators or speakers for events.
Be sure to continue to check out this web site and the Golden Owls Retirees Newsletter for other benefits coming soon.
