Good Afternoon Monarchs!

As part of the benefits package offered, employees of Old Dominion University can schedule a conference call with a TIAA-CREF Financial Consultant. This personal session will allow you an opportunity to discuss any questions that you may have regarding retirement and obtain additional information that may assist you in planning for your retirement.

TIAA remains dedicated and available to assist you with your financial needs. John Kuchta is available to meet with current and prospective participants of the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) as well as the 403b Tax-Sheltered Annuity.

Please see below for available dates in September and October.

You can schedule your appointment online at Old Dominion University Events or by calling (800) 732-8353.

If you would like to schedule a virtual meeting, please email John Kutcha directly at john.kuchta@tiaa.org , and he will confirm by sending you a meeting link for your calendar. TIAA is concerned with security and uses Adobe Connect as their virtual platform. The link will have instructions on how to connect and test capability.

Please note, all meetings will be conference calls unless you request virtual.


No matter where you are in life—just getting started or planning for retirement—a session with John Kuchta can help you create a plan for your goals. And, it's at no additional cost as a part of your retirement plan. You'll get answers to these questions and more:

  • Am I invested in the right mix of investments to help meet my goals?
  • Am I saving enough to create the retirement income I need?
  • How do I take income from my retirement account once I stop working?

TIAA will be available these dates and times for one-on-one sessions.
