I’m wondering if any of your campuses offer an alternative to the usual TIAA-CREF or other similar options for retirement accounts. I find it personally dismaying that even the “social choice” accounts include investments in the mega-corporations I generally avoid.

Thanks,
Christina

Hi Christina,

I did a bit of searching around, and I found some schools that appear to offer other SRI funds:

I didn't look at the holdings of these funds so I can't comment on how they compare to TIAA-CREF's options but hopefully one or two of these would be a good match for what you are looking for.

Best of luck,

Julian
