With the upcoming term, we wanted to share some important dining information with you. Please click Read More for in-depth information about dining services during January.

The McCall Center for Civic Engagement at ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University is looking for workshop facilitators to participate in our annual Spirit of Civic Engagement Summit, scheduled for Saturday March 15, 2025. The theme is Civic Engagement in Polarizing Times and the audience will be a select group of students, faculty/staff, and community partners engaged in service and activism in our community.

As part of moving our new Strategic Plan forward, this fall ½ðɳÓéÀÖ completed its first round of inviting employees to pitch strategic project ideas that can help us achieve our new Strategic Plan objectives — and the results are in!

It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Dr. Lucy Dubin, our beloved vice president of human resources. Dr. Dubin passed away peacefully on December 8, surrounded by her loved ones. You can honor her legacy by donating to an organization in her name.

Your generous donations will make the holidays extra special for over 80 children in the Western Farm Workers Association.

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the kindness and support you have all shown to the HR team over the past two weeks. The loss of Lucy has been a deeply emotional and challenging time for all of us, and we are incredibly thankful for the compassion, empathy, and strength you have all provided during this difficult period.

As travel begins during the winter break, your safety is our utmost concern. The university wants to remind those who do not carry a valid U.S. passport to be cognizant of potential changes to the immigration landscape in the United States. We want every member of our community to be informed and feel safe this winter break season. Please find additional information in your email, dated Dec. 11, 2024.

The Finders Keepers Free Store remains open for members of the ½ðɳÓéÀÖ community (Boxer ID required to open the door) during the Winter break. If you cleaning house before or after the holidays, donations are also accepted 24/7. 

We are working toward ambitious fundraising goals to support ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University students through the Boxer Spirit Fund and Student Emergency Fund, and we could use your help!
