The Retirement Connection

What is The Retirement Connection?

Our interest in faculty and staff doesn't end upon retirement. The Retirement Connection is Mason's way of inviting you to keep in touch with your Mason community and colleagues after you retire.  Launched in 2004, the Retirement Connection begins within a few weeks of your retirement. Each Mason retiree receives a retirement package containing an array of items generously donated by various University departments. It includes complimentary tickets to a performance at the Center for the Arts, a George Mason basketball game of choice, and an annual parking decal.

In addition, retirees are encouraged to obtain the Retiree ID card which affords the holder the same privileges enjoyed with the current GMU ID and which has no expiration date.

Retirees with 15 years or more service can continue their Mason parking after their first complimentary year for just the administrative cost of a hangtag (currently $15) (budget and space permitting).

We hope you will consider joining us to:

In short, we invite our retirees to stay connected to Mason on your terms. When, where, and how you want.
