UC DAVIS: Vice Chancellor - Administration November 2, 2000 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND CAMPUS/UCDMC ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: Staff Development & Professional Services 2000-2001 Program The 2000-2001 Staff Development & Professional Services (SD&PS) program has increased its annual offerings to over 200 courses (comprised of 500 sessions) that promise to be engaging, innovative and applications-oriented. The 2000-2001 Staff Development & Professional Services Program Guide showcases the details of these courses and presents a rich variety of learning opportunities for you and your colleagues as members of our campus community. Highlights include several certificate programs such as Event Planning, Risk Awareness, Customer Service, Cross-Cultural Competence, Understanding Diversity, Environmental Health & Safety, Promoting Excellence Through Supervision, as well as several new offerings in technology training and career management. I encourage you to look closely at these education and development opportunities and make it possible for your colleagues to participate in them. This year one 2000-2001 SD&PS program guide is being sent to each department in its paper format; however, anyone can download his/her own 56-page copy in PDF format simply by going to the SD&PS web site http://sdps.ucdavis.edu or by going directly into http://sdps.ucdavis.edu/download.htm. (If you or your colleagues do not have access to a computer, please call the SD&PS office at 752-1766 so they may provide you with a hardcopy.) It is essential that UC Davis staff take the time to invest in their professional development because continuous learning helps position UC Davis for the challenges of our collective future. I ask for your support in encouraging your colleagues to enroll in SD&PS courses. Release time, alternative work schedules and arranging for coverage are some of the ways that you can promote staff education goals. Thank you. Dennis Shimek Associate Vice Chancellor - Human Resources 00-144
