Pre-Retirement Planning

It's never too early to start planning for retirement.

Cornell provides many resources to help you plan – presentations, documents, 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 our goal is to make the benefits portion of your transition easier to manage.

Here are three great ways to get started with your retirement planning (details below):

Attend a Retirement & Beyond Seminar
Review the Retirement & Beyond booklet
Meet one-on-one with a counselor in our HR Services and Transitions Center (HRSTC)

Tip: Take a look at the Cornell Retirees website to explore opportunities for networking, volunteering, and enrichment available to Cornell retirees!

Review the Retirement & Beyond Booklet

The Retirement & Beyond booklets provide an overview of what you should consider as you prepare for retirement, and what happens to your benefits when you retire. Note that there are different booklets based on whether you are retiring from an Endowed or a Contract College position.
