UC President Michael V. Drake’s systemwide town hall is coming up this Friday (Feb. 24), 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PST, livestreamed on YouTube, no registration necessary.

Or sign up for a Davis campus watch party, hosted by Staff Assembly and Human Resources, to be held in Gallagher Hall (Graduate School of Management) at the campus’s south entry. See At a Glance, below, for registration information.

The Gallagher Hall gathering will run a half-hour longer than the town hall, allowing time for people in the audience or on Zoom to have follow-up discussion with UC Davis HR leaders. Sign up here; space is limited in the lecture hall.

President Drake will give opening remarks, then engage in conversation with Priya Lakireddy and Jo Mackness, staff advisor and staff advisor-designate to the Board of Regents, respectively. Lakireddy and Mackness will share questions presubmitted by staff.
