Community of Faculty Retirees

Since 2013, the Community of Faculty Retirees (CFR) has been connecting retired Texas A&M University faculty members through intellectual and cultural discourse.

Speakers are chosen from all disciplines across the entire university, including experts who have continued their work into retirement. Programs begin with coffee and conversation before the presentation, and a light lunch follows the Q&A portion of the lecture.

Membership
