What's New

Retiree Work Opportunities (RWO) Program Profiled On KPFK Radio
The Center is very pleased that the Retiree Work Opportunities program was highlighted recently on the KPFK program "Experience Talks". The broadcast included interviews with several retirees and managers who have benefited from the RWO program. RWO helps connect retirees and hiring managers from any of the three locations the Retirement Center serves (Berkeley campus, LBNL and UCOP). As a result, temporary work assignments have often been effectively filled with experienced UC retirees. To hear the archived broadcast online, click here, and then click on "Listen to Segments." From there select the April 15, 2008 program.

We've Moved
After ten years in Boalt Hall, the UC Berkeley Retirement Center has found a new home. Our new space, which we share with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Berkeley OLLI@Berkeley, is located in the converted brown, cedar shingle house at 1925 Walnut Street between University Avenue and Berkeley Way, and between Shattuck and Oxford in downtown Berkeley.

Investing in the Center

In addressing newly retired faculty and staff at University House, ex-Vice Provost of Academic Affairs and Faculty Welfare Jan deVries stated that the Center uses its budget, dollar for dollar, more efficiently than any other unit on the campus. It was a proud moment. We hope that you, too, feel that the Center will make good use of your gift and that you will make an investment in the Center’s future. Gift Giving >>
