Unify-Communicate-Advocate
The Strategic Initiatives offer a home for strategic thought - drawing on members of the wider UC ANR community and beyond to 1) help people connect and 2) help them identify and address issues of current and emerging importance.
1. Program Teams - DEIJ added
This month, the SI leaders approved the addition of a Program Team on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice. Program Teams operate at a broad level to help people within UC ANR and beyond network, share and learn. The submission of the DEIJ PT (by Clare Gupta and Sonja Brodt) and subsequent approval represents how UC ANR continues to evolve to better meet the needs of California.
