What We've Learned - UC San Diego Student Affairs

WI22 - Weeks 9-10: Spring is in the wearer edition.

Greetings, WWL-ers and WWL-ites:

With finals week on the very-near horizon, we’d like to recognize the diligence, resilience, and general stick-to-it-iveness you’ve demonstrated throughout this quarter. Because of your collective and individual contributions, we’re all looking forward to the return of some familiar student traditions and a rekindled sense of community in the spring.

We’ll keep this WWL short since we know you’re not exactly craving more reading at the mo’, with just a couple newbies and some relevance-remaining old-bies below.

Good luck, be safe, and be boosted, Tritons. We’ll chat again in Week 1 of Spring Quarter. - Ian.

Masked transit.

Like Spring, a whole 'lotta traveling Tritons will soon be in the air (and on the roads) while enjoying a week-long break post-finals. If you’re in the same boat: please know that you need to rock a mask through mid-April, since TSA recently extended their federal mandate on mass transit.

Travel safety to return safely. Pick up a couple KNo-cost KN95s to wear while you’re out and about (or “oot and aboot,” if your plans include our neighbors-to-the-north), and be sure to take a rapid antigen test before you come back to campus. We’ve got both free masks and rapid tests available on campus from March 12-20, so pick those up before you go, and then complete a PCR test on the day you return.

Spring: four words.

Rather than fall back on old habits during the March 21-27 break, consider getting sprung on unique opportunities to connect, grow, learn, and engage via our Spring Break 2022 programming.

Tracks and fields. We’ve got a week’s worth of fun, educational (perhaps both!) in-person and hybrid offerings and events to choose from, in dedicated interest tracks like: research, health & well-being, leadership, service, and more.

Just here for the free boost.

As of today, more than 31K students have received their booster. To those of you who already took the plunge: great jab! We're here for it, and now we want to hear about it – so that we might encourage your fellow Tritons to do the same if they haven't already.

Needles to say. If you’re so inclined, tell us your story by submitting a short video to VCSA@ucsd.edu with a few thoughts on “why you got your booster,” and we’ll hook up some free Triton swag while we work on a compilation to share back out in the coming weeks.

Quick Hits and Bits

Troupe that supports. Finals week was overwhelming back in pre-pandy “normal” times, let alone now that it lands amongst all the extra that's currently going on in the world. Because things are decidedly not normal at the mo’, please know that your Dean or Assistant Dean of Student Affairs is always available to provide academic support or help getting connected to resources.

Thank you, Tritons, for everything you continue to do to care for one another.

Sincerely,

Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
