Retirement begins a new chapter, but your connection to UFV continues. The UFV Retirees’ Association (UFVRA) brings retired faculty, staff, and administrators together to maintain meaningful ties with the university and with one another. We honour the contributions of retirees, celebrate shared memories, and create opportunities to stay engaged. Through events, mentorship, and advocacy, the UFVRA supports UFV’s mission, values, and tradition of collaboration.
If you worked at UFV for five years or more and have retired, you are invited to become a member of the UFVRA and continue to be part of the UFV community.
Our mission

Support the UFV community
Retirees continue to play an important role at UFV. By sharing knowledge and guidance, we can mentor students as they take on projects and plan their careers. We can also support their success by contributing to bursaries and scholarships, including the UFV Retirees Bursary, which provides vital financial assistance to students in need.
Our experience also benefits faculty, staff, and administration by providing history, context, and insights that help new colleagues understand the university and feel part of its community.
