We Build. We Rise.”Legacy\, Science & Deportation \nGuest: Dr. Adriana Mejía Briscoe – Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology\, UC Irvine \nDr. Adriana Mejía Briscoe is a world-renowned evolutionary biologist whose research on butterfly genetics and vision has advanced the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology. A member of the National Academy of Sciences\, she bridges scientific excellence with cultural identity\, showing how personal history can deepen our understanding of belonging and legacy. \nWhile tracing her ancestry\, Dr. Adriana Mejía Briscoe uncovered a century-old corrido written by her great-great-grandfather about the mass deportations of Mexicans in the 1930s. The discovery connected her personal story to a larger narrative of resilience and displacement in Mexican American history. \nWhy This Matters\nHispanic Heritage Month is more than a celebration — it is a recognition of resilience\, contribution\, and the ongoing work to create a more inclusive future. These conversations invite reflection\, learning\, and connection across cultures and disciplines. \nMark your calendars and register today!\nREGISTER HERE or scan the QR code below. \nFor more information\, please contact:\nRicardo Vela\, rvela@ucanr.edu\, 951-660-9887 URL:https://link.ucop.edu/event/legacy-science-deportation/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250924T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250924T113000 DTSTAMP:20260404T142951 CREATED:20241210T195101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241223T184010Z UID:10011013-1758709800-1758713400@link.ucop.edu SUMMARY:BRC - Procure to Pay Office Hours DESCRIPTION: URL:https://link.ucop.edu/event/brc-procure-to-pay-office-hours/2025-09-24/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250924T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250924T110000 DTSTAMP:20260404T142951 CREATED:20241022T185402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241022T185402Z UID:10010410-1758708000-1758711600@link.ucop.edu SUMMARY:BRC T&E Team Office Hours DESCRIPTION:Have a travel or travel reimbursement-related question?
