ANR Update

Dear Colleagues, During these unprecedented times due to the COVID 19 pandemic, it is understandable that some academics may wish to temporarily reduce their appointment time in order to address priority family and self-care needs.

Coming together, keeping together and working together during unprecedented times. Although we live in challenging times, few organizations are managing those challenges as well as UC ANR.

Visitor clearance survey UC ANR has been using a web-based daily clearance to work survey to ensure that employees who are working onsite or engaged in in-person field work, research or extension activities are free of COVID-19 symptoms.

Continued support for employees As we all continue to face the numerous challenges brought on by the pandemic, our top priority at UC ANR is to continue to provide a safe, flexible and healthy work environment.

Dear Colleagues, I have received the sad news of Lowell Lewis's passing from Henry Vaux, former ANR associate vice president. Our longtime employees and emeriti will remember Lowell from his 30-plus years of service to ANR.
