Enhancing the Staff Experience at UCR

The UCR Staff Assembly is a volunteer-led organization serving staff employees across the University of California, Riverside and operating as a branch of the systemwide Council of University of California Staff Assemblies (CUCSA). Our work reflects a shared commitment to building a healthy campus climate that fosters equity of experience and ensures that staff, students, and faculty of all backgrounds feel safe, welcome, included, and empowered to thrive.

At its core, the Staff Assembly relies on the passion and energy of volunteers from every corner of UCR to bring our initiatives to life. Want to get involved with Staff Assembly? Learn more about volunteering.
