Retirees’ association celebrates 25 years

The Windsor University Retirees Association (WURA) celebrated the 25th anniversary of its founding with an open-house reception Thursday, October 8, in Assumption Hall’s Freed-Orman Commons.

Founded in 1990, the association promotes and advances the interests of retired senior administrators, faculty and librarians. Through ongoing interaction with the university administration, faculty association and parallel retirees’ organizations in universities across Canada, it advocates in areas of pension and health benefits as well as other issues of interest to retirees.

Dozens of members, their spouses and friends turned out to look back on a quarter-century of working to maintain social contact and finding ways to continue contributing to campus life.
