[Sa-staff] February 2022: Staff Assembly Newsletter & Events

Fri Feb 4 15:12:37 PST 2022

Don’t Miss These Upcoming Events!

We are so excited for several things coming your way in the next few weeks.

Registration will open soon for our 2022 UCR Staff Conference<https://staffassembly.ucr.edu/ucr-staff-conference>, presented virtually on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 22 - 23. Every registrant will gain access to downloadable resume templates and a chance to win a resume/cover letter makeover.

Our third pop-up Staff Pantry in partnership with UCR Basic Needs on Jan. 27 was our most successful, serving 179 staff members from across campus. Each staffer received a bag of dry goods and chose their own fresh fruits and vegetables, provided by R’Garden. Two more Staff Pantry events are scheduled for Feb. 10 & 24<https://events.ucr.edu/event/ucr_staff_pantry_3940#.YeC8cljMIjg>, with future events in the works for March, April, and May.

Speaking of March, by then it will be time to elect our new 2022-2023 Executive Board! Nominate someone<https://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2hteCUS5VVC6TCS> (or even yourself) for a board position<https://staffassembly.ucr.edu/staff-assembly-position-descriptions> by March 4. Elections will take place March 14-18.

Former Staff Assembly President and current CUCSA Chair Crystal Petrini shared results<https://youtu.be/OctZvV6CDNw?t=2524> from the 2021 systemwide CUCSA staff engagement survey during a UC Regents meeting on Jan. 20.
