PERA Information Sessions and Open Computer Labs (July 9-10)
If you participate in a PERA retirement plan (Defined Benefit or Defined Contribution), join a PERA Information Session on July 10 to learn more about your benefits and retirement options. Open Computer Labs on July 9 will provide assistance with PERA account setup and access.
Who should attend? These sessions are intended for employees enrolled in a PERA Defined Benefit or Defined Contribution retirement plan. Employees enrolled in CU's 401(a) retirement plan through TIAA do not need to attend.

To ensure staff can fully participate in the PERA sessions, we will host Open Computer Labs the days prior to help employees:
- Create or access their PERA online account

We will be hosting Open Computer Labs at the Stadium in Room 1B12E on Thursday, July 9 from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 3:00–5:30 p.m. Staff can stop by during either window for help accessing or signing up for their PERA online account.
These labs are offered in advance of the July 10 sessions so employees can arrive prepared and avoid login delays during the workshops.
