PHASED RETIREMENT

Current information regarding phased retirement arrangements can be found in the Red Book.

RETIREMENT PLANNING

Information about Hamilton’s retirement plan can be found on this webpage maintained by the Human Resources office.

You will undoubtedly want to schedule an early appointment with Kim Hatzinger (Benefits Manager at Human Resources) to discuss particular questions you may have about financial arrangements for retirement, including a discussion of health benefits that may be available.

OFFICES, LAB SPACE, STUDIOS

Your academic office assistant can order packing supplies and arrange assistance with relocating the contents of your office. Facilities Management can help transport packed boxes to your vehicle. Normally, your office will be occupied next by the person hired to be your successor or, in some cases, reallocated to another faculty member/department. 

TEACHING

At the request of the department, the dean may appoint you as a senior lecturer to teach a course in a given year.

A reminder: as a senior lecturer, you will no longer participate in department meetings (although the department may occasionally invite you to attend these or other departmental functions). Also, in accord with the Faculty Handbook, you no longer will have a role in department personnel decisions such as hiring, reappointment, tenure, and promotion reviews.

TRAVEL SUPPORT

Emeriti faculty members may use HART funds for one professional conference annually up to $2,500, provided that the retiree is presenting results of scholarly activity and that Hamilton affiliation is indicated in the conference program. Availability of funds is dependent on overall faculty travel budget constraints.

Library and Information Technology Resources

You will find a great deal of useful information regarding the availability of Library and Information Technology resources on this webpage describing LITS Resources for Retirees.

Plan to make an early appointment with the LITS Help Desk to discuss particular questions you might have and to get advice from them about how to make a smooth transition to retirement with respect to the resources available from LITS.

Help us provide an accessible education, offer innovative resources and programs, and foster intellectual exploration.
