Tuesday, March 10: Learn what it’s like to be a staff advisor to the UC Regents
March 10, 2026 •
UC’s staff advisors represent the interests of colleagues at the highest level of UC leadership — the UC Board of Regents. They participate directly in Regents open sessions and designated committees, and meet extensively with staff throughout the university to understand their needs and learn from peer experiences.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to serve as a staff advisor, now’s your chance! Next Tuesday, March 10, from 10 to 10:45 a.m. (PT), join UC staff leaders via Zoom for an inside look into this impactful role and have an opportunity to ask your questions. Register here to attend and connect with those who’ve been at the table.
The next staff advisor application period is open. Apply by Wednesday, April 8, for the 2026–2028 term. Learn about the application process.
