Staff

Staff associations are a great way to connect with other UC San Diego professionals and contribute to the community.  There are various staff associations available, below are some brief examples.

Arab American Association (AAA)

The Arab American Association is a diverse collection of UC San Diego community members that supports all those who identify as Arab or who are interested in the cultures, language, history, and traditions of Arab peoples, whose geographies historically span Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA). 

Find out more information by contacting arabamerican@ucsd.edu or to fill out the interest form.

Pan-Asian Staff Association (PASA)

The Pan-Asian Staff Association promotes the general well-being of Asian/Pacific Islander staff at UC San Diego.  Their work focuses on provided educational, professional, and social opportunities through workshops, discussions, and events.

LGBT Staff and Faculty Association

The LGBT Staff and Faculty Association is the official faculty and staff association for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community at UC San Diego. It provides opportunities to meet new people and make long-lasting connections. Events are open to faculty and staff regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

How to Establish a New Staff Association/Affiliate Group

 

New to Campus?

Welcome, we would love to connect!  If you have questions about getting connected on campus, please reach out to the Associate Director of APIMEDA Programs and Services, Windi Sasaki at wsasaki@ucsd.edu 

Consider being featured in the APIMEDA Lifebook as well! The Lifebook is a resource available to help guide students toward resources and individuals to connect with that can enhance their experience on campus. Staff and faculty are intentionally given a section to provide a glimpse of the friendly faces within the APIMEDA community at UC San Diego. There is a survey for you to complete if you would like to be featured in the Lifebook.
Please note: surveys completed after February may not be added to the newest edition of the Lifebook due to the need for design time, but we will keep your information for the next edition!
