This is a reminder that a number of staff associations have received official recognition at UCSD to assist in creating a welcoming and nurturing environment for members of the UCSD community. The UCSD Staff Associations listed below foster communication among University entities, assist in the recruitment and retention of a diversified work force, and pursue other goals of mutual importance. These groups sponsor educational programs and normally hold regular monthly meetings that promote networking and career development.
Membership is open to all UCSD employees.
I strongly encourage all supervisors to be flexible and permit employees to attend the meetings and programs of these associations as long as their job responsibilities do not conflict with their participation. Employees who wish to participate in any of these associations' meetings and programs during scheduled work hours must obtain supervisory approval in advance.
