Staff Sounding Board: University Pension Plan (UPP)

Tuesday, November 24, 2026 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Introducing: The Staff Sounding Board discussion series

Our new Staff Sounding Board series is a monthly forum that brings UWSA members together to explore workplace issues that matter to our community. Each session will focus on a specific issue affecting staff and provide an opportunity for open discussion.

Most sessions will be held in person, with virtual sessions offered at least once each term to support broader participation.

We’re starting on November 24 with a conversation about the University Pension Plan (UPP).

Following a brief explanation from Statistics & Actuarial Science professor Diana Skrzydlo about the plan and what switching would mean for staff, we’ll turn the floor over to you to share your thoughts, concerns, and questions. The discussion will help inform future information sessions and resources from both the UWSA and the University as the UPP exploration proceeds.

Join us November 24 in DC 1304, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Please register, as space is limited. If there is high demand, we will schedule an additional session online soon.

UPP Exploration Survey

Whether or not you can attend the discussion, we invite you to take a quick survey to help us understand members' knowledge and perspectives during the UPP exploration process.
