Sofa Swap at Sierra Madre

Last summer, Residential Operations staff made an effort to replace damaged furniture in anticipation of residents returning to campus in Fall 2021. Our staff discovered that 70 of the sofas in Sierra Madre Villages were showing signs of damage, specifically the "pleather" fabric was experiencing significant peeling and tearing. Typically, soft furniture should last up to ten years, but these sofas were already in poor condition after five to six years.

Creating an Environment Where Everyone Can Succeed

A core value of Housing, Dining & Auxiliary Enterprises (HDAE) is promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. HDAE puts this value into action through our communications and by actively engaging with the campus community. Included below are some of the ways in which HDAE has initiated and supported working toward encompassing and embracing these important principles.

R&CL Launches Staff Newsletter

Feeling the effects of the instabilities and heightened temperament of the world, the Residential & Community Living (R&CL) team created a Call to Action (C2A) group. All R&CL staff was invited to join – managers, the UCHS team, the powerful administrative team, our patient complex coordinators and resident directors – anyone interested in meeting to express themselves or coordinate ideas to help each other, well, to quite frankly, feel better and to heal.

Happy New Year HDAE Team!

CONGRATULATIONS! Jeremy Guida of University & Community Housing Services has a new family member. Baby Elwood was born on January 7 and mom, dad and grandpa (Randy Bittner — who some of you may remember) are happy and healthy.

Have a wonderful winter break!

Fall Quarter is coming to a close and I want to thank you for the determination and dedication you continue to display throughout the pandemic. The intense work that has gone into successfully re-opening and supporting our students could not have been done without your hard work and partnership.
