Annual Summer Celebration Staff Picnic

On behalf of the UC San Diego Staff Association, I am pleased to invite you to experience Fun Diego!, at this year’s annual All-Staff Picnic on Friday, August 10, 2018 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Town Square. The picnic will highlight the commitment of our dedicated staff who help make UC San Diego a world-class university.

The picnic will feature delicious ‘California Coastal’ cuisine, games, giveaways, staff association booths and entertainment. Lunch will be provided to staff members who order their free tickets online. Ticket distribution will be handled through Eventbrite, an online ticketing system that will allow users to print their own tickets. In order to ensure that as many staff as possible may attend the picnic, employees will be limited to one ticket per person.

Tickets will be available beginning at noon on Monday, July 23 until sold out. To request your ticket, and for detailed event information, visit the Staff Picnic webpage at

Parking will be available for all off-campus staff members. Gilman and Hopkins parking structures will not require specific campus passes. Parking in “S”, “V”, and “B” spaces will be allowed with any UC San Diego parking pass from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, August 10 only. Cart service will also be available from both parking structures for those who need additional assistance. Picnic attendees are also encouraged to take advantage of campus shuttles:

Volunteer50 is looking for volunteers to help at the Staff Picnic. All volunteers will receive a lunch ticket. For more information, visit http://volunteer50.ucsd.edu/

I encourage all staff to join us for this appreciation event. In order to attend the picnic, I am approving two hours of administrative leave with pay, and I ask supervisors to allow employees to attend, as long as the absence does not infringe upon the performance of required job duties or patient care.

I would like to thank our Vice Chancellors for their continued support of the picnic. I’d also like to thank the UC San Diego Staff Association and this year’s volunteer Planning Committee for their hard work to organize this enjoyable annual event.

See you at the picnic.
