Dear Colleagues,
In February, UC San Diego employees began receiving invitations to receive their COVID-19 vaccines through UC San Diego Health. We have seen, and are continuing to see, encouraging data on our Return to Learn dashboard that demonstrates our campus community’s strong commitment to keeping ourselves and each other safe and healthy.
We’ll get more insight at next week’s Staff Town Hall (on Tuesday, May 18 at 1:30 p.m.) where Natasha Martin, associate professor of medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and Return to Learn program leader, will share how we are using data modeling to inform our decisions about safely ramping up on-site operations.
If you haven’t yet gotten your vaccine, our on-campus vaccination center at RIMAC Arena is now accepting walk-ups for UC San Diego staff, academic appointees and students. The vaccination process at RIMAC is simple, quick, and easy to navigate. We are encouraging everyone in our Triton community to get vaccinated by June 1, 2021, as the RIMAC vaccination center is scheduled to permanently close the following day. Learn more about getting vaccinated »

Performance Appraisals: Performance appraisal season has arrived for all policy-covered campus staff employees and many represented employees.
