Good for your health, mind, wallet & the environment!
UCSB brought back a long-standing tradition this May - our annual Bike to Work Day Breakfast. Bike to Work Day is a nationally-celebrated event that promotes and supports people commuting by bike.

HDAE Town Hall Recap
Thank you for attending the Town Hall Meeting on April 27, 2023. We had a full agenda, with much information to share and many folks to celebrate. At the meeting, I was pleased to announce organizational changes intended to improve our services. Residential Operations is now handling all aspects of the HDAE physical plant, including the custodial teams at the University and Events Centers. Distribution & Logistical Services has transitioned to the Residential Operations portfolio as it is more compatible with their functions.
