The UC San Diego Staff Association and Campus Human Resources invite you to Cabinet Conversations, a series of conversations with cabinet members via Zoom.
Cabinet Conversations is a series of conversations with cabinet members designed to provide staff the opportunity to get to know our campus leaders on a more personal level and hear what leaders have to say about important topics impacting our campus. As part of the Staff Association's strategic plan, these sessions have been developed per requests in the following campaigns: the UC San Diego Staff at Work survey, the Council of UC Staff Assemblies Engagement Survey, and the UC San Diego Idea Wave campaign.
Our next Cabinet Conversation, scheduled for Tuesday, March 2 from 10–10:45 a.m. is with Sandra Brown, Vice Chancellor for Research and Distinguished Professor. Dr. Brown is internationally recognized for her developmentally focused alcohol and drug research. Her research yielded pioneering information on adolescent addiction, relapse among youth, and long-term outcomes of youth who have experienced alcohol and drug problems. Learn more about Vice Chancellor Sandra Brown »
Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know our campus leaders and participate in the conversation. We’d like to hear from you, too. If there’s anything you’d like to ask our guest, please include your question when you register.
