Committees and Councils
Benefits and Retirement Committee
Previously called the Retired Faculty and Staff Committee, the first efforts to recognize retiring faculty and staff were made in 1970, with 500-600 persons attending the highly successful reception at the President’s home. In 1971, a Faculty Council Committee on Retired Faculty and Staff was created, and planned events to include more receptions, dinners, and clinics on planning for retirement. In subsequent years, a Retiree’s Handbook was produced for Tech employees.
