UCSD CAMPUS NOTICE University of California, San Diego |

OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR September 14, 1998 ALL AT UCSD (including UCSD Medical Center) SUBJECT: Year 2000 Campus Committee We are just over a year away from January 1, 2000. As you may have heard, the millennium date change may cause service outages for a variety of computers and for other automated systems, such as electric utilities and lab instruments. Many campus units have already addressed or begun to address the issues (often known as Y2K problems). However, in order to provide the campus community with reliable information and with a single point of contact, we have established a UCSD Year 2000 committee, chaired by Assistant Vice Chancellor Elazar Harel. The committee will address campuswide Y2K planning issues and will provide us with timely and pertinent information. Following is a list of the committee members, along with their email addresses: Ed Babakanian, Medical Center, mailto:ebabakanian@ucsd.edu Rich Backer, Student Affairs, mailto:rbacker@ucsd.edu Sally Brainerd, Business & Financial Svcs., mailto:sbrainerd@ucsd.edu Tom Collins, SIO, mailto:tcollins@ucsd.edu Liz Floyd, ABA and Communication Dept, mailto:efloyd@ucsd.edu Elazar Harel, ACT, mailto:eharel@ucsd.edu Roger Meyer, SOM, mailto:rmeyer@ucsd.edu Jim Napier, SOE, mailto:jnapier@ucsd.edu Ken Popp, ACT, mailto:kpopp@ucsd.edu Mort Shayegan, Physical Plant (PPS), mailto:mshayegan@ucsd.edu Dick Siegel, Internal Audit, mailto:rsiegel@ucsd.edu Scott Wilson, EH&S and EOC, mailto:swilson@ucsd.edu Given the decentralized and complex nature of our campus, it is practically impossible to assure that all issues are addressed and resolved. However, I believe that by increasing awareness to the issues and by providing the necessary information, we can and will minimize the magnitude and impact of these problems. I encourage you, therefore, to review the information and to directly contact the committee members if and when you have Y2K-related questions. Much of the information is already available on the Web at the following sites: UCSD's official Year 2000 Web site: http://y2k.ucsd.edu Campus notice, 2/4/1998: http://hyundai.ucsd.edu/notices/98/98.02.04 Campus notice, 6/27/1997: http://hyundai.ucsd.edu/notices/97/97.06.27.4 Thank you.
