The Emeritus Faculty Council represents retiree interests in many ways. Our members observe the Faculty Senate and Council, the Research Council, and several University committees. We co-sponsor Senior College, work with our sister organization UIRA, and represent UI retirees at national meetings.

Through this website (see the tabs along the top or the main navigation menu) we provide you with important information on:

  • Who we are, our meeting schedule, minutes of EFC meetings and summaries of the committees we observe
  • Information about the Emeritus Faculty Lecture Series that we sponsor. These are interesting public lectures (about one per month) given primarily by emeritus faculty; they showcase some of the many ways that emeriti remain active in their fields
  • Answers to questions about retiree issues and links to websites for retirement, health insurance, and other issues
  • Service opportunities both on campus and in the community
  • How to contact us
  • News that includes key points from our guests and information about our annual Spring meeting

Please explore this site and use it often. We ask you to share your interests and concerns through this contact as well. We need to hear from you to better serve.

Russ Lenth, President of EFC 2024-2025
