Retirees Association of Lakehead University


At retirement, university administration, faculty and staff lose long-standing common purpose and supportive relationships with their colleagues.

The Retirees Association of Lakehead University (RALU) has been incorporated
to respond to that challenge with the following purpose:


To utilize the capabilities of our retiree membership in

the interests of each other and the University Community

   1. Social and creative interaction and debate.

   2. A forum for discussion of matters of common interest.

   3. Exchange between members of their most interesting
       retirement experiences.

   4. Contact with similar associations, monitoring retiree
       activity.

   5. Pursuit of benefits and considerations from the
       University that match the best practices of other
       institutions.

   6. Assessment of alternative retiree arrangements
       in areas such as supplemental health, insurance,
       and organized purchasing.



   Services Offered to the University Community

    beneficial, for example:
