Staff Appreciation Events at UC San Diego

I am pleased to announce that a series of Staff Appreciation events will take place around campus April 25 through April 27, 2007. UC San Diego’s continuing trajectory of excellence has been based in large measure on the dedication and professionalism of our employees, and I encourage everyone to pay tribute to our extraordinary staff by participating in an upcoming Staff Appreciation event.
