Retirement planning is complicated for all, but it can be especially challenging for those working in higher education because their identities are often tied to their profession. For some, the education and acculturation required to become faculty or staff at an academic institution leave little time to think about, or develop, outside interests. University of Toronto Sociology Professor Michelle Silver explored how careful planning for later career transitions can honor one’s lifelong commitment to their work.

After a long career of academic and workplace achievement, retirement presents a unique opportunity to create a different sort of legacy. New York University Work Life's Program Director of Retirement, Dr. Stacey Gordon, guided participants to examine their next phase opportunities, define goals, and make plans through a values-driven lens. Much of this can be achieved by drawing upon existing social networks and developing new connections and collaborations to support one’s goals.

Strategies and Resources for Creating Connections

Once retired, many people feel a release from the intense pressure of a full-time work week and welcome this new flexibility. Then, for some, the giddy glow wears off as they try to adjust to unstructured days, and they describe unexpected feelings of being at loose ends. A panel of retirees from colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada will share their strategies for rebuilding their networks, developing new social connections, and identifying resources to find purpose in this next chapter.
