Your contributions

Pre-tax contributions

The pre-tax contributions to the VRSP will be deducted from your paycheck with withheld taxes.

If you make pre-tax contributions, you can defer paying tax until you make a withdrawal from your retirement account.

Roth contributions

A Roth Contribution is money that you pay into your VRSP after taxes. Like the rest of your current salary, Roth contributions are taxable.

Since Roth contributions are paid into a VRSP after tax has been deducted, withdrawals are tax-free under certain rules.

The science of the flu shot
The science of the flu shot
Once in the air with the autumn cold, flu vaccinations are being given out in clinics and pharmacies across the country. Vaccination, while imperfect, is the most reliable way to avoid a potentially fatal infection. While many accept it as a seasonal inconvenience, the flu kills about 19,000 Americans in an average year. After the pioneering work of Hilary Koprowski,

As director of the Law School's Mediation Clinic, Alexandra Carter ’03 has been training students in various forms of alternative dispute resolution since 2008. Under her guidance, students learn negotiation strategies and advise clients in federal, state, and New York courts; Cases range from family business disputes to complaints filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In 2016, Carter partnered with the United Nations Institute for Education and Research and their students are the exclusive providers of alternative dispute resolution classes for the United Nations Diplomatic Corps in New York. She is currently training judicial and administrative directors in New York state courts which will soon require most civil disputes to be resolved through alleged mediation rather than in public courts. In 2019, Columbia University honored Carter with the Presidential Award for Teaching for its innovative pedagogy and commitment to its students. Carter developed her passion for mediation and teaching as a student at the Law School's Mediation Clinic, led by Professor Carol Liebman, who became her mentor and role model. As a student, Carter won the Jane Marks Murphy Prize for Clinical Advocacy and the Lawrence S. Greenbaum Prize for Best Oral Argument in the 2002 Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition. Prior to enrolling in Law School, Carter was a private equity analyst with Goldman Sachs and Fulbright Fellow in Taiwan, where she researched contemporary literature to assess cross-strait political tensions. After Carter got her J.D. received, she worked on the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and then joined Cravath, Swaine & Moore as a litigator. She was retired to the academy by Liebman and other mentors from Columbia Law School. Carter's new take on negotiation is the subject of her upcoming general interest book Ask for More: 10 Questions to Negotiate Anything, which will be the main title published by Simon & Schuster in May 2020.

What are tendonitis and tendinitis? Tendons are strong strands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. Tendonitis is when a tendon is inflamed. It can hit any tendon in the body. When a tendon is inflamed, it can cause swelling, pain, and discomfort. Another problem called tenosynovitis is linked to tendonitis. This is the inflammation of the lining of the tendon sheath around a tendon. Usually the vagina is inflamed by itself, but both the vagina and tendon can be inflamed at the same time.
