UCI Housing's computer wizard Campus Notes Takio drummers celebrate the Year of the Dragon with UCI's 4th annual Lunar New Year celebration. The conference, which provides a forum for women to explore ways to access leadership positions in higher education, will be held March 9 and 10 at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco. A keynote panel on leadership will feature UC Santa Cruz Chancellor M.R.C. Greenwood, UCLA Vice Chancellor Claudia Mitchell-Kernan and UC Santa Barbara Vice Chancellor France Cordova.
Registration is required for attendance.
It is sponsored by the Developmental Biology Center, the Neural Regeneration Research Group, and the Reeve-Irvine Center for Spinal Cord Injury Research in conjunction with Brain Awareness Week 2000. President Richard Atkinson announced the new holiday in a recent memo to UC campus officials. University holidays currently include New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and a winter and spring administrative holiday. Because university holidays are among the terms and conditions of employment governed by collective bargaining agreements for unionized employees, the university has proposed to those unions that Veteran's Day be observed. The Department of Ophthalmology has, however, extended its Thursday clinic hours until 7 p.m. for refractive surgical consultations to all employees.
