SDSU Retirement Association
Message from our President, Nancy Farnan
Welcome to the San Diego State University's Retirement Association. This year, 2020, has brought many challenges and changes for the Association, as it has for everyone and every organization. As a group, we aspire to be vibrant and active; to create a strong sense of community among ourselves, as well as with our university; and to contribute in various ways to San Diego State University's students. We will continue our outreach efforts and plans for the future with our current and prospective members. Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected], and stay safe during these uncertain times.
The SDSURA is available to all retired and current faculty and staff of SDSU and its Auxiliary organizations. The SDSURA
- Sponsors scholarships
- Publishes a newsletter Postscript (3 times per year)
- Sponsors activities that allow members to learn, have fun and make new friends
- Communicates with representatives of the University, government, and other groups in matters affecting retired persons on the behalf of the membership
- Offers opportunities to stay connected and be a part of SDSU’s cultural richness and cutting-edge developments
The California State University, SDSU and its Auxiliaries provide many benefits to retired faculty and staff. Benefits include health and dental coverage, retention of the SDSU ID card, continued use of the SDSU email address, parking, library facilities and the Faculty/Staff club. Benefits may vary based on the organization from which you retired, your years of service, and whether you are faculty or staff. Check with the appropriate offices to determine how benefits apply to you. Helpful links are provided which may be of interest or assistance.
The SDSURA Board includes a Benefits Committee which monitors legislation and other decisions that may affect our benefits and welfare. The committee provides regular reports and updates to the Board and informs the membership with articles in Postscript.
The SDSURA is a non-profit organization. It was established in 1986 through the cooperative efforts of retired and active SDSU faculty and staff and with the support and encouragement of President Thomas B. Day. It is one of the few such organizations that embraces both faculty and staff. In the past the Association has helped fund projects such as the Symphonic Carillon – the wonderful sounds that you hear while on campus.
Mission: To serve the mutual benefits and interests of retired and near-retired faculty and staff. To facilitate continuing contributions by members to the furtherance of the scholarly and other professional objectives of San Diego State University.
Our office does not have permanent staff but we welcome your calls and emails. Please be patient as responses may not be immediate.
- Select membership application link, fill out, and mail to address on the form.
