Faculty Retirement Liaison

The Chancellor’s Office created the position of Faculty Retirement Liaison in 2015 as part of its initiative to enhance the continuing role of emeriti faculty in campus research, teaching, and service.

As the Faculty Retirement Liaison, Professor Emerita Rosina Becerra serves as an advisor and advocate for faculty members who are considering retirement, as well as those who have already retired. She helps Academic Senate faculty members develop Pathways to Retirement agreements with their department chairs. She helps all retiring faculty navigate the University’s general retirement process and coordinate it with their individual pre- and post-retirement plans. She works semi-autonomously from the Academic Affairs & Personnel Office, and all her discussions with individual faculty members are confidential. She oversees the Pathways to Retirement Program and The Path Forward: Faculty Planning for Retirement Workshops.
