The Society
Boston University recognizes the importance and commitment of the faculty and staff who dedicated many years of their lives to furthering the goals of the University. In 1989, the Society of Retired Faculty and Staff was formed and approved by then-president John Silber. This organization, led by its own Board of Directors and working with the Office of Human Resources as liaison with other departments, plans and prepares events that enable University retirees to stay connected with their colleagues and friends--both past and present.

The goal of the Society is to foster the continued relationship of former employees to the University and to make the University's resources available to its members so that they may continue to be a part of this dynamic and ever-changing institution.
 

Membership
Employees who are recognized at the annual Service Recognition Dinner for retirement are welcomed to the Society shortly after the award ceremony.

Membership is automatic for employees who, upon retirement, were age 55 or older and had 10 or more years of service or for those who have been appointed as an Emeritus Professor, regardless of age or years of service.
