History

April 2011's Retirement and Financial Planning Fair focused on "Preparing for Retirement: Personal and Financial Planning, " featuring a special presentation by VRS Director Bob Schultze. You can view his presentation on the University's YouTube channel.

Fall 2010 also featured retirement preparedness, while summer 2010 sessions focused on financial literacy, with sessions on Budgeting Basics, Money Matters, Managing Your Credit, and To Your Credit, all co-sponsored by the UVa Credit Union.

In May UHR offered sessions featuring Genworth, the Commonwealth's new Long Term Care Vendor. You can read more detailed information on eligibility for this program, including a personalized premium quote, at http://genworth.com/cov.
