Retired Faculty/Staff

The Kent State University Retirees Association (KSURA, formerly the KRFA) is a group of retirees who desire to:

• Continue their involvement with university colleagues;
• Stay informed about Kent State programs, research and service initiatives, creative projects, travel and volunteer opportunities; and
• Keep members updated on any changes to pensions, health care or other benefits provided through the state retirement systems (especially OPERS and STRS-OH).

The KSURA meets 9-10 times a year and the meetings are open to all retired Kent State faculty, staff and their spouses. Most meetings are monthly on the 2^nd Wednesday afternoon in the Kent Free Library (or other location as announced).

If you would like to be added to the email listserv, contact Jerry Feezel at jfeezel@kent.edu.
