ANR Update

Dear Colleagues, The University of California is on its way to becoming the first university system to wipe out its carbon footprint by 2025, as part of President Napolitano's Carbon Neutrality Initiative. We can do it, but only if we do it together.

Colleagues, Last month, Strategic Communications and IT soft-launched the website redesign project to test the site in the live environment and complete bug fixes before an official launch was announced. Bug fixes are complete, so we are now happy to share broadly that the site is live.

ANR Human Resources will host two more Zoom webinars for staff and supervisors in March: Employee Role: March 20, Wed., 10 a.m.11 a.m. Supervisor Role: March 26, Tuesday, 3 p.m.4:30 p.m. Zoom: https://ucanr.zoom.

A major factor in job satisfaction is the extent to which people feel part of a wider supportive community. Such connections have historically been offered in UC ANR through various means, including our structural units (i.e., our 81 workgroups, 21 program teams and 5 strategic initiatives).

Please join ANR leaders for a virtual town hall discussion March 21 from 11 a.m. to noon. [A recording of this town hall can be viewed at https://ucanr.zoom.us/recording/share/cDyQszkVruRcozHg2JVp8YJqy5V0s_4InlDmDgpa7Q6wIumekTziMw.
