A System-sponsored workshop was offered by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA) and College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF) called "Socially Responsible Investing Workshop", which was also available for viewing online.

Employees can also view a TIAA-CREF's Socially Responsible Investing booklet "Global Strategies, Global Impact", which is available online.
