Information Technology Services (ITS) will begin rolling out a new cloud-based email and calendaring system – Microsoft Office 365 – in September. The full rollout, to be done department by department, will begin on Sept. 12 and run through Oct. 17.

The UCOP Mentorship Program pairs experienced professionals from across OP departments with staff who seek to develop themselves professionally.

The Fair Wage/Fair Work Plan, which requires that all UC employees hired to work at least 20 hours a week be paid at least $15 per hour, will be phased in over the next three years.

Under the centralized Technology Asset Management Program, Information Technology Services provides one standard computing bundle per employee. When an employee leaves or switches departments, the equipment reverts to ITS or goes with the staff member to the new department.
