ATTENTION, NEW ANR ACADEMICS! Save the date for programmatic orientation Oct. 27-29

Apr 6, 2015

All new ANR academics, please mark your calendars now for the 2015 Programmatic Orientation, which will be held October 27, 28 and 29, 2015, at the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center.

This orientation is open to all new UC Cooperative Extension advisors, UC Cooperative Extension specialists, academic coordinators, academic administrators and Agricultural Experiment Station faculty.

Join Associate Vice President Bill Frost and our new vice president to discuss the mission of UC ANR and our varied roles in California and the University, and see examples of successful research and outreach programs.  The program will begin at noon on Tuesday, October 27, and end at noon on Thursday, October 29. More details on the agenda and registration will be shared this summer.

In August 2014, 56 new academics (those who had joined ANR since 2009) met at the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center to engage in discussions with colleagues and learn about the resources of ANR as a division. Evaluations of that orientation were very positive – 4.0 on a scale of 1 to 5.

For new academics who were unable to attend the 2014 workshop, and for those of you who have been hired recently – PLEASE MARK YOU CALENDARS NOW – and plan to join us October 27-29.

If you have questions about the orientation, please contact Jan Corlett, chief of staff to the vice president, at jan.corlett@ucop.edu or (510) 287-3343.
