Hi Triton Staff,

Seeing so many of you come out for the Staff Summer Celebration was truly a joy. Despite the heat, the energy, smiles, and sense of community were everywhere. Most importantly, it was wonderful to see our staff taking time to connect, have fun, and simply be celebrated for all that you contribute to UC San Diego.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered, and worked behind the scenes to make the celebration such a success. 

You made the day special, and I hope you left feeling appreciated, connected, and proud to be part of our staff community.

Here’s to carrying that same spirit of connection and celebration with us into the year ahead!

Thank you, 
Dr. Amanda J. Corona '09 BA, '23 EdD
Chair, UC San Diego Staff Association
