Organization

The Notre Dame Association of Retired Faculty ND ARF (the Association) was formed as a University-Recognized Employee Resource Group in 2019 under the office of the University Provost. All retirees from the faculty who choose to may become members of the ND ARF.

Mission:  The mission of the ND ARF is to foster community and common activity among the retirees of the faculty. It also seeks to represent the interests of these retirees when necessary and appropriate. The Association sponsors an annual reception to welcome current and new retirees to the group and collaborates with Human Resources in planning programs for luncheons, held at least once each semester, for all retired faculty members and their spouses. In addition, through a regularly maintained website, the ND ARF establishes a retired liaison network that communicates important news items and serves as a locus for recognizing retiree contributions to the University, the professions, and the larger community. It provides information on social events, lectures, benefits, and other information of interest to retired faculty.
