Retirement Savings

GW offers two primary retirement savings plans to help you save for your eventual retirement:

In addition, certain employees may be eligible to participate in the university's 457(b) and 457(f) plans.

Investment Providers

Employees can choose to invest their contributions with two retirement providers, Fidelity Investments and TIAA. You are in control of your future - changes to your contribution rates, retirement investments and retirement providers can be made at anytime of the year.

Please note: Investment values will fluctuate so that an investor's units, when withdrawn, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Retirement Counseling

Retirement consultants from Fidelity and TIAA are available at no cost to meet with GW employees to discuss their retirement savings goals, learn more about the GW retirement plans, understand the investment options, create a savings plan and review your account balances. Appointments can be booked by contacting your retirement provider at the appointment booking telephone number or website below.
