- A recognized venue through which retired faculty can stay engaged with the university’s mission and maintain a formal affiliation with CU Anschutz.
- Opportunities to get together socially with former colleagues and friends, helping maintain a sense of community after retirement.​
- Events that enhance collegiality among retired faculty across the Anschutz schools and college.
- A variety of lectures and presentations by distinguished scholars on topics such as biomedical research, art, history, technology, and travel, hosted throughout the year to inspire life-long learning.
- Continued scientific and academic education opportunities that help retirees stay mentally active and connected to their disciplines.
