Camille Locklear of Business & Financial Planning graduated from the UC Women's Initiative program (UC WI) on March 10. UC WI is a unique, experiential, systemwide professional development program intended to support the success of mid-career, woman-identified professionals. The program is held over several virtual sessions equaling about 30 hours, and includes faculty, academic personnel, and staff participants from every UC location. Skills learned through this program include strategic relationship building, peer coaching, negotiating, and communicating one's value in the organization. Congratulations Camille!
We're happy to report that the UCSB Campus Store was very successful in raising money for this year’s UCSB United Way Campaign! $4233 was raised through a combined effort of a “round up” initiative – customers were asked if they would like to 'round up' to the nearest dollar on their Campus Store purchases – as well as Jostens donating one dollar for each bachelor gown purchased. Way to go team for your efforts in supporting this great cause!
On March 14, Transportation & Parking Services celebrated its fun and delicious 8th Annual Pi Day to commemorate π ─ 3.14 ─ and pie!

The UCSB Campus Store launched a newly redesigned website! Campus Store staff created a layout that offers a more streamlined and intuitive online shopping experience, and better reflects the beauty of our campus. The refreshed “digital front door” comes just in time for prospective students and their families. Throughout the pandemic, the Campus Store has utilized online orders and in-store pickup to keep everyone in our community safe. While these options are still available, staff members are happy the store has returned to in-person shopping. Visit http://campusstore.ucsb.edu to see their new and improved website. Tell them what you think and submit feedback via their Contact page.
