Exciting news — Ò°ÀÇÉçÇø University has officially launched a Retiree Association! Championed by President Ken Evans, this new initiative is designed to foster meaningful connections among OCU’s retired faculty and staff, keeping you engaged with the vibrant university community you helped build.
While still in its early stages, the Retiree Association aims to create opportunities for social gatherings, lifelong learning, volunteerism, and continued involvement in university life. We’re eager to shape this organization in ways that truly reflect the interests and ideas of our retired community members — and that’s where you come in.
If you’re an OCU retiree, we’d love to hear from you! Share your thoughts on how this association can best support and enrich your ongoing relationship with the university. Let’s build something special together — your legacy deserves it!
