Vice Chancellor Wilton sent the following invitation to all administration and finance staff on April 10th.
Dear Staff,
We’ve been looking for ways to better communicate with you, and we’re excited to try something new. I am pleased to invite you to join me for the first Administration and Finance Staff Town Hall on Monday, May 11 from 9-11 a.m. at the Zellerbach Playhouse.
Berkeley wouldn’t be the world’s number one public university without hardworking, dedicated staff like you, and open communication is critical to our success. The goal of the event is to come together to discuss Berkeley’s priorities, opportunities, and our shared challenges, and answer your questions. As we approach the end of the semester, we also want to take this moment to celebrate recent accomplishments -- there is no shortage of incredible work happening in our division and we are grateful for all that you do.
Event highlights will include:
-
A conversation with Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Claude Steele - Interviewed by Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer Rosemarie Rae
-
A staff Q&A with campus leaders - Moderated by Campus Shared Services Chief Operating Officer Peggy Huston
-
An engaging presentation by Christine Carter, Ph.D., Senior Fellow at the Greater Good Science Center and author of The Sweet Spot: How to Find Your Groove at Home and Work
-
Welcome reception with campus leaders - Includes coffee and light refreshments
