The NU RSS was launched in 2018 and provides opportunities for all of the University’s retired staff.
Our aims are to:

• Organise and promote social and educational activities
• Provide regular information about the University
• Grow the relationship between retired staff and Newcastle University
  

Membership is open to all categories of staff retiring from the University and in receipt of a University pension (or through a related scheme). We wish to encourage the widest participation. There is no membership fee.

The RSS is a ’work in progress’ – starting with regular talks and opportunity for members to socialize over coffee or tea. Recent lectures include:                                       

• ‘Should Arts Students learn to draw and paint?’ – Professor Richard Talbot
• ‘Uncovering Colossus: World War 2, Bletchley Park, and the world’s first electronic computer’ – Professor Brian Randell
•  ‘Wild in the City: Gosforth Nature Reserve’ – Clare Freeman, Director of the Natural History Society of Northumbria

Please note events are currently postponed due to Public Health England guidance surrounding group meetings and COVID-19

Newcastle University is a leader in research on ageing and the health. We want the RSS to reflect this and promote evidence-based ways to wellbeing: staying connected; being active; continuing to learn; being mindful; and ‘giving back’. Our next phase of development will:

• Enable RSS members to organize small groups for social and educational activities.
• Promote volunteering that harnesses the interests, mental capital and experience of members and supports the University to mutual benefit.

To keep up to date with RSS news and connect with likeminded members you can update your details with NU Advancement via our NU RSS Staff Update Form. The majority of communications regarding NU RSS are sent via email.
