Pre-Retirement Planning
It's never too early to start planning for retirement.
Cornell provides many resources to help you plan – documents, presentations, and tools – each with a goal of clarifying your current benefits as well as your options in retirement. We understand that retirement is a major life transition, and we hope to make the benefits portion of your transition easier to manage.
Here are three great ways to get started with your retirement plans (details bel0w):
- Meet one-on-one with a counselor in our HR Services and Transitions Center
- Attend a Pre-Retirement workshop
- Review the Retirement & Beyond booklet
Tip: Take a look at the Cornell Retirees website to explore opportunities for networking, volunteering, and enrichment available to Cornell retirees!
