About the Staff Association
The UC San Diego Staff Association is a campus-wide community dedicated to supporting, connecting, and advocating for non-represented staff. We work to enhance the staff experience through programs, events, and initiatives that promote professional growth, personal well-being, and a sense of belonging.
Our members represent diverse backgrounds and roles across campus, united by a common goal: to ensure staff voices are heard, valued, and empowered. Whether through networking opportunities, skill-building workshops, or advocacy efforts, the Staff Association is here to strengthen our campus community and make UC San Diego a place where staff thrive.
