CUCRA Retiree Surveys
CUCRA periodically surveys University of California retirees about their activities, contributions, and accomplishments during retirement. The most recent survey is to be conducted in 2024.
2024 Survey
University of California retirees will receive an email on October 1, 2024 asking them to participate in a brief (10 minutes) online survey about their activities and contributions since January 2021. This is the third survey sponsored by the Council of UC Retiree Associations (CUCRA), local UC retiree associations, and retiree centers.
Retirees who do not receive the email invitation should contact their local retiree association for assistance.
2020 Survey
The 2020 survey report, "UC Retirees: Generous Talents, Enduring Community; University of California Retiree Activities; January 2017 through September 2020" (PDF), highlights the accomplishments and activities of University of California retirees who responded to a survey in fall 2020.
The report describes the extent to which respondents remained committed to UC's mission, volunteering in their communities and for UC, providing professional services, publishing written works, caregiving and more. For many of these retirees, retirement did not signal a break from the University, but rather a shift in the relationship.

Note: The PDF of the survey report was updated on April 26, 2021, to correct an error on the Philanthropy page. The number of 2016-17 donors for UC San Diego is now correctly shown as 124, not 24. The error does appear in the print version of the report.
