ANR Update

Nominations are being accepted now for the annual UC ANR Staff Appreciation and Recognition (STAR) Awards. The deadline for submission is April 5, 2019. The STAR program is your opportunity to celebrate and reward the great contributions of ANR's people.

As of Feb. 20, 2019, all ANR personnel will need to use a new method to access ANR systems. Please note that this is a separate change from enrollment in Duo. What is changing? UC ANR has implemented a new login system that relies on information from UCPath.

Like last year, UC ANR will provide ESRI (ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online) software and licenses to UC ANR staff and academics at no cost in the coming year. Agricultural Experiment Station faculty who are affiliated with UC ANR will be eligible for one ESRI license through ANR.

UC Path is the new systemwide HR and payroll system that will serve all UC employees. UC ANR's go-live date is fast approaching.

Last year, UC ANR trialed a summer fellowship program in collaboration with the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources and the Planetary Health Center of Expertise at UC Davis. As a result, we had about six students doing a summer session with UC Cooperative Extension advisors.
