Improving the Employee Experience
Our employees are our greatest asset. We are keenly aware that our organization, and the campus, would not function without the dedication and hard work of our staff. After reviewing the results of our 2022 Employee Engagement Survey conducted by McLean & Company, three areas were identified that could improve the employee experience - Career Advancement, Recognition & Appreciation, and Work Life Balance.

Together, along with our HDAE partners, we have helped student leadership, outreach, faith-based, professional, athletic, environmental, and academic groups achieve their goals at UCSB every summer.
Laundry Like Home
Residential Operations Has Installed New Laundry Equipment in Campus Housing.
Much like doing laundry at home, our residents can now use the machines without a payment module. In addition to not having to pay for this service per load or cycle, our residents can see which machines are available for use in their residential communities by downloading the SpeedQueen application, as well as benefit from other built-in user experience options.
