The Retired Staff Association (RSA) is open to all retired staff of NUI Galway.  Please see the Announcements page, under 'Communications', for details about receiving notifications from the RSA after you retire.

Aims

The RSA's main objectives are to

-  help retired staff maintain contact with one another by organizing events of interest
-  provide retired staff with information
-  strengthen the relationship between retired staff and the University
-  support and promote the mission of the University

Committee 2023

The RSA Committee  continued to meet virtually following the first lock-down in 2020, and maintained a scaled-down schedule of events and activities, as well as liaising with the University on matters of particular interest to retired staff. Since early 2022 the RSA has been returning to a fuller schedule.  For events and activities currently planned see Announcements on this site.

Committee members as of January 2023 :

 Organization

The Committee usually meets every four to six weeks, except in July and August. Its members normally serve for 4 years or less.

It organizes events and activities during the year (see Announcements and Archived News & Events (2013-2020)) and maintains contact with retired staff via email and this website.

The University provides assistance to the RSA, through the much appreciated work of the Management Services Office in a number of areas such as: having refreshments provided at the monthly Agallamh na Seanórach meetings; arranging car parking for retired staff attending those monthly meetings; and generally providing access to information and facilitating contacts within the University. However, we expect that a number of these services may be cut back with changes in University organisation.

The RSA usually holds its Annual General Meeting to coincide with the February Agallamh na Seanórach. but may well be later this year.
