Chat with UC President Mark Yudof online
University faculty and staff are invited to participate in a March 2 web chat with President Mark Yudof to discuss a range of issues concerning the UC community. The event, to be held from 12-1 p.m. on UC's UStream channel, will be hosted and moderated by Penny Herbert and Kevin Smith, staff advisors to the regents.
"There are so many challenges facing the university right now that we wanted to host this event to give employees a chance to talk directly with the president," Herbert said.
Specific topics to be covered include:
• State funding for UC
• The Working Smarter initiative
• Recent campus protests
Faculty and staff will be able to view the web chat, or login and join the live conversation. Members of the UC community may also submit questions in advance on the
Staff Advisors' website. Herbert and Smith will include as many of your questions as possible during the one-hour event.
