Staff Advisory Board
The purpose of the UC Santa Cruz Staff Advisory Board (SAB) is to support the welfare and diversity of the UCSC staff. The Board does this by serving in an advisory capacity to our campus leadership and other campus parties or organizations. Our advocacy promotes better communication and relations among the staff and our larger campus community.
Throught the year, SAB members serve on a large number of campus committees to provide a staff perspective and advocate for staff needs.
In addition, members serve on a variety of internal committees, which are responsible for putting on Staff Advisory Board events and programs. Theses programs include things such as the Chancellor’s Forums, the Staff Mentorship Program, the Annual Staff Appreciation Picnic and the Thumbs Up and Outstanding Staff Member awards.
