Staff Appreciation Week: Aug. 24–28

Just because most of us aren’t on campus doesn’t mean UCLA staff have stopped giving their all to keep teaching, research and most other operations going, even if in modified forms due to the pandemic. The work of our 20,000-plus Bruin staffers is always an important part of campus, and since safer-at-home orders were issued in March, that work has never been more important.

To thank staff for their amazing efforts under these unprecedented circumstances, UCLA Staff Assembly, together with the Office of the Chancellor, will once again be hosting Staff Appreciation Week, which runs from Monday, Aug. 24, though Friday, Aug. 28.
