Here, friends and colleagues join in discussions, workshops, and research projects to rethink the role of retired faculty and invent new forms of participation. In ARRUF, depth of experience in scholarship and research facilitates new avenues of multidisciplinary and mixed methods research, international awareness, and mentoring. ARRUF's home, located in 412 Fondren Library, will host many activities, quiet conversations, and meetings, with on-line participation for members outside Houston.

ARRUF member and Rice University professor emeritus William Camfield and independent scholar Candace Clements are two members of the Comité Picabia, which is nearing completion of a four-volume catalogue published in both English and French of the works of French artist Francis Picabia (1879-1953). Their talk on April 17th provided a glimpse into that project and showed some of Picabia’s paintings, drawings and other work. A reception in celebration followed.
