Retirees staying connected...

…with each other and the campus, through activities provided by the Retirees Association, including the annual brunch and dinner, publications, Monthly emails, and this website, which are available to members and non-members alike – to all Sacramento State retirees.

CANCELLED - Fall Dinner 2020

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the university's plans to be a "virtual campus" for the Fall term, the Fall Dinner has been cancelled. We are hopeful that we can resume normal on campus events in the Spring term. Please mark your calendar for the Spring Brunch, May 2, 2021 at the Harper Alumni Center. If we are able to hold events on campus in the Spring, we will provide details about brunch registration in future e-newsletters.

CANCELLED - Spring Brunch 2020

Due to the COVID-19 virus issue, President Nelsen has asked that all non-curricular meetings and events be cancelled through the end of Spring 2020. We are sorry that we will miss seeing you at the Spring 2020 Retirees Association Brunch, but know we are still here and will look forward to seeing you in the Fall at our annual dinner.  Please keep an eye on this site and the Retirees Association Newsletter for information about our continued activities.

Message from President Robert Nelsen

For those who have already registered for the Brunch, you will receive a full refund.  If you were planning to make an extra donation or renew your membership along with your brunch reservation, you may still do that at the following link:

Both recipients accepted their scholarships with genuine appreciation and provided some information on their major and goals. You can view their bios at https://www.csus.edu/org/retirees/ra%20scholarship/
