RE: Staff Celebration Week: May 19th - May 23rd, 2025
Dear UCSB Staff,
Staff Celebration Week is coming! Join your fellow staff members for celebration events May 19th - 23rd, 2025, including the Staff Ice Cream Social, Staff Social and Arts and Crafts Bazaar, Staff Assembly Cookie Contest and more!
Campus tours are also being offered all month long! Registration is now open at the links below. Please note that registration is limited to staff members ONLY.
Reminder:The Chancellor's Staff Luncheon will now be held on August 27, 2025 on the Commencement Green. This decision, made collaboratively by CSAC, Staff Assembly, Human Resources, and the Chancellor's Office, aims to provide more preparation time for organizers and reduce the event's impact on volunteers and attendees. This year's luncheon will still include Campus Catering, award presentations, and remarks from campus leaders. We look forward to seeing you there in August!
RE: ASAP Wellness Workshop: Responding Effectively to Anxiety Symptoms- Reclaiming Your Agency and Peace
Anxiety often interferes with our ability to be present, to focus on important tasks and needs, and to remain connected with ourselves and others. In the past several years, U.S. adults have reported increasing rates of anxiety, due in part to growing socio political concerns, uncertainty, financial difficulties, and safety concerns.
This workshop will focus on enhancing awareness and understanding of anxiety symptoms, and providing strategies and tools to address anxious moments as they arise. Participants will learn tips for nervous system regulation, interacting with anxious thoughts, and responding effectively to other anxiety symptoms.
Join us for a 45 minute workshop to increase your understanding of anxiety, and develop tools and strategies to reclaim a sense of agency and peace in your everyday life.
Date and Time: Wednesday, May 14th, 12:05pm to 12:50pm (Zoom)
Location: Zoom link will be sent upon registration.
