The purpose of this association is to facilitate support of the University of Iowa by retired faculty and staff members and to promote the interests and welfare of those retirees. We strive to help retired members of the University and their spouses, widows, widowers, or domestic partners keep in touch with each other and with the social and intellectual life of the University.
At present, more than 600 UI retirees and their spouses or domestic partners belong to the UIRA.

Programs are offered monthly September through June, including a picnic in June and an annual banquet in April. See Programs and Events for a full list of programs offered.
Other examples include:
Discussions of University programs
Local cultural and civic activities
Tours of University buildings
A yearly presentation by Staff Benefits on health insurance
options for retirees
UIRA's annual flu shot clinic

Any former faculty or staff member who has retired from The University of Iowa and his/her spouse or domestic partner may become a member of UIRA. Any spouse, widow, widower, or domestic partner of a faculty or staff member who died while still employed by the University may become a member of UIRA.
Associate Membership (non-voting, non-office holding) is open to those who have present or previous ties to the University. Individuals may become members upon submission of the Membership Form and payment of dues of $10. Dues cover The Gray Hawk Newsletter, mailings, printing, and other expenses.
A member may terminate by written notice to the treasurer of UIRA or by non-payment of dues.
