Staff Assembly Centennial Reports

As the campus community prepares for the "new normal," Staff Assembly, the organization "for staff, by staff," would like to take a moment to reflect on the many memorable experiences that have been shared during our Centennial Celebrations. Please take a moment to explore the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 Annual Reports as we turn the corner on the second century in UCLA's history.

CUCSA September Quarterly Meeting Updates
|
The September CUCSA meeting was hosted by UC Irvine. CUCSA is the Council of UC Staff Assemblies, composed of two delegates from each UC Campus. During the first CUCSA meeting of 2020-21 year, there were updates regarding the Staff Advisor to the Regents (STAR) program and information about applying to become a STAR. We heard from various leaders at UCI, and wrapped with information on the upcoming systemwide Engagement Survey (to be launched in 2021). Additionally, CUCSA formed four workgroups for the 2020-21 year:
- Flexible Work Arrangements
- Staff Advocacy (focus on compensation)
- Basic Needs (focus on mental health)
- Internal Operations (strategic planning for CUCSA and maintaining online platforms)
Each workgroup will be looking to gather information from each campus related to the workgroup topics. If you are interested, email staffassembly@ucla.edu.

Sustainable Transportation Month Has Arrived!
|
Each year in October, UCLA Transportation highlights the many benefits of sustainable transportation. From walking to biking to taking public transit, we're encouraging Bruins to get movin' during October for Sustainable Transportation Month! Follow along on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for the virtual celebration as we share why these sustainable ways of commuting are better than driving alone. Throughout the month, we’ll be hosting weekly social media contests with prizes! Get movin' and keep up with us all October for more chances to win.
