Retired Employees Association FAQ

Once you retire from Michigan Tech, you're automatically considered a member of the Michigan Tech Retired Employees Association. There are no dues, fees, or costs, but there are many benefits.

The Michigan Tech Retired Employees Association was founded in 2014 with the mission to promote and nurture mutually beneficial relationships between the campus and its retired faculty, staff, and administrators.
More specifically, we endeavor to provide connections between the University and its retirees which encourage positive participation in collegial life and opportunities for contributions and service to the University and campus community.
