• Of the 245 retirees, 62% are faculty and 38% are staff. (151 faculty; 94 staff)

• Our gender representation is approximately 3/5^th male and 2/5^th  female (144 male; 101 female)

• Our current retirees stretch over four decades with the earliest retirement date 1981 - more than 31 years ago.

• Our ages also span a few decades with our youngest retiree being born in 1955 and our most senior retiree born in 1915.

• 72% (177) of us live in Illinois; the remaining 68 live in 26 states and two live in a foreign country.  About 51% of the out-of-state members live in four states: Florida, Wisconsin, California, and Arizona.
