Founded in 2004, the Susan B. and William K. Wasch Center for Retired Faculty provides a shared intellectual and social community where retirees may continue their engagement with teaching and scholarly activities. The programs of the Wasch Center include faculty members approaching retirement as well as retirees, extending as well to the Wesleyan and Middletown communities.

The Wasch Center is dedicated to providing programs and services that contribute to the continued vitality and welfare of retired faculty members. The Center provides a means of connection among retired faculty members as well as a link to the ongoing activities of Wesleyan University and the surrounding community.
