Retirement rate decrease

The Board of Directors for the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI) recently approved a decrease in the retirement contribution rates beginning July 2023.

This rate decrease will take effect on your July 26 paycheck.

Because Idaho statute 33-107B dictates that employer contribution rates for the TIAA and Corebridge (aka Valic) Optional Retirement Plans (ORP) match PERSI contribution rates, the rate for ORP contributions will also decrease.

*An additional long-term disability insurance is paid by NIC at the rate of .073% for all ORP employees. PERSI employees receive this long-term disability benefit as part of the employer-paid PERSI contributions.  

For more information, contact Payroll at payroll@nic.edu.  

Cardinal Convocation set for Aug. 22

Mark your calendars! Tuesday, Aug. 22 will be NIC’s third annual Cardinal Convocation. 

Classes that meet before 4 p.m. will not take place, with the exception of Career Technical Education and Health Professions and Nursing courses.

Cardinal Convocation promotes retention and a sense of belonging for new students at NIC. It is required for First Year Experience students and serves as a celebration of the start of their NIC journey, as well as a formal introduction to the campus community.

Currently, it is only open to students registered for First Year Experience Seminar (CLC-120)*.

We hope all staff and faculty will attend the welcome address at Boswell Hall Schuler Performing Arts Center to welcome new students to campus. Students arrive at 9:15 a.m., so please arrive early to cheer them on as they enter!

Those who would like to volunteer for the event can register here. Each volunteer will receive a Cardinal Convocation T-shirt if they do not have one from previous years.

For more information, contact Jillian Gill at (208) 769-3446 or Jillian.Gill@nic.edu

*New students not registered in CLC-120 will have the opportunity to attend Advising and Campus Welcome sessions as part of their onboarding.
