We invite members and associate members to send us materials for member profiles, if desired. Please e-mail the appropriate documents to ARRUF@rice.edu with the subject line: Profile materials for [your name]. Profiles may contain a photo, a brief description of the member’s interests and activities, a Curriculum Vita, and images related to publications, performances, exhibitions, and honors.

ARRUF members and associate members are eligible to create member profiles. Faculty of all ranks who have worked at Rice University for at least ten years and whose age and years of service equal 65 or more are automatically members of ARRUF. Spouses and partners of members are automatically associate members, even if the principal member is deceased. Faculty members who are participating in the staged retirement program are associate members until they fully retire, at which point they become members. Associate members may participate in the Association’s activities and committees but may not vote.
