About AROHE

AROHE is the first stop for college and university administrators, retiree organizations, and individuals seeking to serve and engage their retired faculty and staff.


AROHE gathers, disseminates, and fosters transformative theory, practices, and programs for all stages of faculty and staff retirement – the preparation, the actual transition, and post-retirement programming – to bring about a smooth and productive life-course change.

AROHE also assists in the formation and ongoing development of campus-based retiree organizations, which are essential to the intellectual, social, and physical well-being of retired faculty and staff.

These organizations deliver added benefits:  they ensure the continued loyalty of faculty and staff while channeling their seasoned expertise and abilities into continuing innovative engagement with their institutions post-retirement.

By pooling the successes of its member organizations AROHE has developed a vibrant culture of optimal aging within this vitally talented cohort.

AROHE is governed by its Board of Directors and its bylaws. AROHE Bylaws.

Mission Statement

AROHE champions transformative practices to support all stages of faculty and staff retirement, the mutually beneficial engagement of retirees with one another and with their institutions, and their continuing contributions to campus and community life.


By sharing research, innovative ideas and successful practices, AROHE supports the development and enhancement of campus-based retirement organizations and programs which support retirees' lifelong engagement in higher education.

History of AROHE

AROHE evolved from the West Coast Conference on Retirement in Colleges and Universities annual meetings in the late 1980s. In 2000, efforts were made to expand beyond the west coast with early organizers from successful retiree organizations at Florida State University, Emory University, Clemson University, UCLA, UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, Indiana University, and the University of Washington. During a conference held at North Carolina State University in 2000, conversations about establishing a nonprofit national organization ensued, and AROHE was launched in 20022 under the leadership of Dr. Paul Hadley, professor emeritus at the University of Southern California, who served as AROHE’s first organizing president. Read more about AROHE's history through 2022.
