The Association of
Retired Rice University Faculty
Welcome to ARRUF, where innovation and collaboration transform retirement.
About ARRUF
The Association of Retired Rice University Faculty (ARRUF) is a multidisciplinary community of full and associate members drawn from all ranks of Rice University faculty and their families. Retired Rice University Faculty automatically become members, and their spouses and partners are associate members. Faculty members who are participating in the phased retirement program are associate members also until they fully retire. Retirement is defined as having been employed for ten or more years and having reached an age that, combined with the number of years of service, equals or exceeds 65. Spouses and partners continue as associate members even when the principal member is deceased.
