[Sa-staff] Staff Assembly Newsletter & upcoming events: April 2022

Wed Apr 6 14:53:45 PDT 2022

Springing forward into April

Our recent second-annual UCR Staff Conference in March was a HUGE success. In all, 21 one-hour sessions<https://www.crowdcast.io/ucrstaffconference> were presented live via Crowdcast and Zoom, which included inspirational speaker/author Shola Richards<https://sholarichards.com/>, Provost Liz Watkins, Vice Chancellor Brian Haynes, and two sessions by Chris Villanueva, founder/CEO of a leading resume service<https://www.thebalancecareers.com/lets-eat-grandma-review-4843904> and host of the Career Warrior Podcast<https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-warrior-podcast/id1151607856>. There were also more than a dozen sessions presented by our talented UCR staff which truly echoed Staff Assembly’s motto: “For Staff by Staff.”

Most of the sessions will be uploaded to HR's Learning Management System for future viewing by any UCR staff member. We also had 576 unique staff members attend at least one session with an incredible 3,043 total registrations over two days — which means several of you signed up for multiple sessions! We also offered free, downloadable resume templates and more than 120 professional headshot sessions that filled up in record time. (Psst: More appointments were just added!<https://signup.com/go/Nawndfp>)

Your active and enthusiastic participation proves there is a strong need for more professional development opportunities here at UCR. We will continue to advocate for future permanent Staff Conference funding with members of senior leadership.

Shoutout to our co-sponsors LEAD, Human Resources, and Staff Assembly, with special recognition reserved for Erika Leon, Brittany Fraser, Melanie Ramiro, Julie Salgado, Alex Rollins, and Seana Núñez who significantly contributed to the development, organization and success of the conference.
