Dear Colleagues,

Our Fall Staff Appreciation Week for 2020 is next week. In the September Employee Morale Survey, we asked you how you wanted to be appreciated, and we’ve built a week of offerings that reflect your responses.

Dear Campus Community,

I am writing to share good news: Our requests to unname LeConte Hall and Barrows Hall have been approved by University of California President Michael Drake. The names “LeConte Hall” and “Barrows Hall” have been officially removed from each building, and are already in the process of being physically removed or covered. For now, until new names have been approved, we will refer to the former, which actually includes two structures, as Physics North and Physics South, and the latter as the Social Sciences Building. 

Dear Colleagues,

Dear Colleagues,

After much discussion at both the local and systemwide levels, we want to announce the following fixed Winter Curtailment days: December 23, 28, 29, 30, 2020, and January 4, 2021. Our campus Winter Curtailment is separate from any kind of curtailment that UCOP is proposing to the UC Regents. We will know more about the UCOP proposal after next week’s UC Regents Meeting.

To help you plan accordingly, the holiday and campus closure days are officially:
