Retired Faculty/Staff
Kent State University Retirees Association (KSURA) 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.
- Join informative sessions that include professional presentations by experts on various topics.
- Remain updated on any changes to pensions, health care or other benefits provided through the state retirement systems (especially OPERS and STRS-OH).
There are no dues required for membership.
KSURA meets 9-10 times a year. Sessions are held on the second Wednesday of each month in the Kent Free Library (or other locations as announced), and are open to all retired Kent State faculty, staff and their spouses.
