This exchange of ideas and perspective on UC issues serves to broaden everyone s insight and allows for a more collaborative approach to solutions. We learn from each other. Regent Connerly, I remember when you visited with us. You were so surprised to learn of our concern regarding the K-12 situation in California and our connection to UC students. We are not only their employee supervisors or staff providing customer service, but their mentors or their new aunts and uncles.
Staff strive to impact and support students in a positive way.
On a more serious note, I have had the great opportunity this year to lead an amazing group of individuals. I have been proud to hold this second job in support of the University. My predecessor, Ron Kos once suggested that the UC promote itself more through Public Broadcasting. We need to share our greatness with all the people in the state of California. One of the greatest benefits to being on Staff Council has been the opportunity to visit and experience each campus.
