UCSC Annual Workshop Registration is Open

The 26th Annual University Classified Staff Council (UCSC) Workshop will be online this year. Session One takes place at 12 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2020. This year the workshop theme is "2020 - Get a Clear Vision," and sessions will be held throughout the summer, rather than on a single day.

The first session will explore the topic of “Staying Sane and Being Safe: Self-care Strategies for Managing Mental Health during the COVID-19 Crisis.” Participants will hear from a panel of speakers about how to take care of ourselves in the midst of chaos.

If you are a classified staff member, it is free to attend. Note that you do need your supervisor's permission prior to signing up. Click here to register for Session One.
