In addition to using the online tools, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with a TIAA-CREF consultant for an individual evaluation. A detailed evaluation tells you everything you need to know and do. A representative will be on campus on November 6, as well as December 5 and 19. To schedule an appointment, please call 866-843-5640, or visit www.tiaa-cref.org/schedulenow. All meetings are held in the Office of Human Resources located on the Garden Level of the Peggy Ryan Williams Center.
It's time to get focused! To change your retirement plan contribution, you'll need to complete a Salary Reduction Agreement and return it to the Employee Benefits & Work/Life Department. If you're not already contributing, go to www.tiaa-cref.org/ithaca to enroll.
