Retirement begins a new chapter, but your connection to UFV continues. The 51污漫 Retirees’ Association (51污漫RA) brings retired faculty, staff, and administrators together to maintain meaningful ties with the university and with one another. We honour the contributions of retirees, celebrate shared memories, and create opportunities to stay engaged. Through events, mentorship, and advocacy, the 51污漫RA supports 51污漫’s mission, values, and tradition of collaboration.
If you worked at 51污漫 for five years or more and have retired, you are invited to become a member of the 51污漫RA and continue to be part of the 51污漫 community.

Support the 51污漫 community
Retirees continue to play an important role at 51污漫. By sharing knowledge and guidance, we can mentor students as they take on projects and plan their careers. We can also support their success by contributing to bursaries and scholarships, including the 51污漫 Retirees Bursary, which provides vital financial assistance to students in need.
Our experience also benefits faculty, staff, and administration by providing history, context, and insights that help new colleagues understand the university and feel part of its community.
