SUBJECT:

UC San Diego Staff Association Expanded Membership

Staff play a vital role in UC San Diego’s ability to achieve our Strategic Plan goals and shared mission. In an effort to encourage greater staff engagement, we are pleased to announce that every career staff employee is now a member of the UC San Diego Staff Association, and there is no longer a membership fee. By enhancing the Staff Association, we aim to provide greater opportunities for collaboration among staff.

All career staff members will now be able to take advantage of Staff Association benefits, including opportunities:
· To apply for funding for career and professional development activities,
· To participate in the Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA), a gathering of representatives from each UC campus that provides feedback to the Office of the President,
· To work collaboratively with staff colleagues on topics affecting our campus, and
· To attend free networking events.

Thank you to all of our campus staff members who work every day – alongside our students, faculty, alumni and community members – to fulfill our mission of education, research, patient care and service. We look forward to working with the expanded Staff Association to make UC San Diego the best possible living, learning and working environment.
