Belonging by Design is a new event series featuring UCOP leaders and national experts exploring the many dimensions of belonging at work. Together, they examine why belonging matters, debunk common myths, and highlight practical ways we can create workplaces where everyone feels valued and included.
In our first session, john a. powell, director of the Othering and Belonging Institute and professor of law, African American and ethnic studies at UC Berkeley will engage with UCOP leaders in conversation around a fundamental question: How do we build an inclusive future? They will explore the challenge of bridging differences and how we can intentionally design spaces of belonging.

President's Leadership Conversations: President Milliken & Chancellor Gillman
2025-12-02 12:30 - 13:30 | Online (via Zoom)
It’s been a busy few months at the University of California, and while we’ve faced our share of challenges, we’ve also seen our community come together in new and meaningful ways. In that same spirit of connection, President Milliken invites UCOP staff to join him via Zoom for a conversation with UC Irvine Chancellor Howard Gillman.
This will be the first in a new series of events entitled “President’s Leadership Conversations,” featuring President Milliken in conversation with UC leaders and other inspiring guests. This is an opportunity for our community to come together and hear from leaders powering positive change across UC, and others who will inspire us through their unique perspectives on business, science, the arts, and more.
Grab your lunch and tune in on Tuesday, Dec. 2, from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. (PT) to hear about Chancellor Gillman’s professional path, what motivates him, and all things UC Irvine.
Registration is required and limited to UCOP staff.
To join us and submit your questions to President Milliken, register via the Zoom link, which will be provided soon in an Outlook invitation.
A recording of this event will be shared on Link and UCnet.
