COVID-19 Update: Fall Planning
The outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe has created unprecedented challenges to our campus. We continue to monitor the evolving situation, adjust accordingly, and prepare for in-person operations.
A Mix of Tradition, Innovation and Sentiment brings UCSB Journey to a Close
Over the past few years, we have been shaping the collective HDAE WE CARE values, which many voices helped to create and refine. To activate our new values and see them in action, we began using them as part of our appreciation program at HDAE Town Hall meetings and as the foundational framework for onboarding new employees in the WE CARE Welcome program. One of the aspirations for these values was to have a booklet to capture who we are and bring the WE CARE values to life. Enter graphic artist Eric Zobel!

Promoting Wellness and an Active Lifestyle
UC Walks Santa Barbara was held virtually May 6 - May 13, 2020. As challenging as this remote world has been, the circumstances allowed us to get creative with this year's event which was offered virtually due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. This year’s UC Walks was open to all UCSB staff, faculty, and students, and it gave participants something to look forward to while promoting an active lifestyle and staying connected virtually.

I would like to start by conveying my gratitude for the work you are doing to serve our UCSB community during this unprecedented time. As some of the most critical staff on our campus, your work has not gone unnoticed by me or the campus leadership; thank you.
