Dear 抖阴旅行射 Boulder faculty and staff,听

It provides two retirement date options, Jan. 1, 2025, and June 1,听 2025, for those who apply and are approved to participate.听
Why 抖阴旅行射 Boulder is offering the VRIP
The VRIP enables eligible employees to make positive life or career changes that fit their goals and needs. The VRIP is not driven by any financial crisis on campus; rather, the program supports campus Transformation and Financial Resilience efforts by enabling 抖阴旅行射 Boulder to repurpose salary savings toward campus strategic priorities that best help us deliver on our mission of education and research.听
