Don't plan on a gold watch...

...but if you are thinking of retirement from UCLA, there is this:

Path Forward to Retirement - Faculty - Workshop 1

Date & Time: Feb 20, 2026 09:30 AM  

Description

This workshop begins with an overview of ensuring that your emerita/us years will be both secure and professionally satisfying. Topics include understanding your rights and privileges as an emeritus/a professor, negotiating a Pathways to Retirement agreement that sets out your plans for up to two years prior to retirement and three years following, and coordinating your departmental agreement with UC retirement benefits and other retirement resources. Then a representative from UC/Fidelity Services will discuss financial planning and management in your retirement years. The formal program will conclude at approximately 11:45am, at which time Q + A will be available.

I won't put the Zoom registration link here to avoid Zoom-bombing. But it you check with the UCLA Emeriti/Retirees Relations Center, you can obtain the link.

Note: Professor Emerita Rosina Becerra is UCLA Faculty Retirement Liaison as of July 1, 2025

The Chancellor’s Office created the position of Faculty Retirement Liaison in 2015 as part of its initiative to enhance the continuing role of emeriti faculty in campus research, teaching, and service.

As the Faculty Retirement Liaison, Professor Emerita Rosina Becerra serves as an advisor and advocate for faculty members who are considering retirement, as well as those who have already retired. She helps Academic Senate faculty members develop Pathways to Retirement agreements with their department chairs. She helps all retiring faculty navigate the University’s general retirement process and coordinate it with their individual pre- and post-retirement plans. She works semi-autonomously from the Academic Affairs & Personnel Office, and all her discussions with individual faculty members are confidential. She oversees the Pathways to Retirement Program and The Path Forward: Faculty Planning for Retirement Workshops.

Rosina Becerra is available for consultation year-round. She meets privately with faculty individually on campus, and by Zoom or phone.
