The 2021 Retirement Symposium will be held on September 9, 2021 in the HUB.

This is a free, all-day event open to all IUP/PASSHE employees approaching this phase of life. The event is exclusively focused on one thing: helping you retire without feeling overwhelmed.

If you are thinking about retiring in the next couple of years (or sooner) and are unsure of what steps to take next, this is your one-of-a-kind opportunity to get answers to your biggest retirement planning questions—conveniently all at the same time and same place.

This event is a no-obligation, complimentary educational opportunity to learn more about retirement by attending breakout sessions of your choice. Please see the schedule of events below:
