Academy of Retired Professionals (ARP)

Hello! We appreciate your interest and invite you take part in the Academy of Retired Professionals, whether you retired from CSI or our predecessor institutions, Staten Island Community College and Richmond College.

Founded in 2009, The Academy of Retired Professionals is intended for retired faculty and professional staff of the College, who wish to remain engaged with each other and the life of the College.

For the members of ARP, teaching, research, and academic service have been a lifelong endeavor to which we are still willing and able to contribute. In turn, CSI enjoys meaningful, productive relationships with a group of their most experienced and dedicated employees.

Academy of Retired Professors Scholarship
We began the ARP Scholarship Fund in 2013-2014. Each year since then we’ve raised enough money to provide a scholarship of $1,000 and, at the same time, we strive to build an endowment as our legacy. All contributions, large and small, are welcome. 

Scholarships given in the name of retired faculty and staff express our appreciation of and respect for the excellent students we taught and those who follow them. While the recipients are chosen by the Scholarship Committee, they feel particularly honored to be supported by retired faculty and staff.
