DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS (DAVIS CAMPUS ONLY)

RE: Management Services Officers (MSOs) for the Future - Call for Applications

I am pleased to announce the call for applications for the pilot campus development 
program, MSOs for the Future. This is a 10-month pilot (September 2005-June 2006) 
for up to 24 campus participants. 

This program is intended to cultivate a diverse pool of highly talented and motivated 
staff interested in pursuing academic MSO positions. The campus Strategic Plan states 
that "UC Davis will enhance existing programs and create new initiatives to assist in 
the recruitment, development and retention of the highest-quality faculty and staff." 
The UC Davis MSOs for the Future program supports the campus commitment to develop 
and retain a distinguished and diverse staff and is intended to increase participants'
sense of community and commitment to UC Davis. 

The MSOs for the Future program is structured according to the competency model 
developed at UC Davis for academic MSO positions and is designed to develop and 
strengthen six competencies (leadership, business and financial analysis, analysis 
and planning, human resource development, community building/diversity and 
communication). There will be an approximate time commitment of two days each month 
in which participants will experience assessments, individual development planning, 
an internship or special project, mentoring, individual sessions with a career 
counselor and classroom instruction.

Three brown bag information sessions are scheduled from 12 noon - 1 p.m. as
follows: June 21 (Cabernet Room/Silo), June 23 (East Conference Room/MU) and June 28 
(Human Resources Administration Building, Room 182). Additional program information 
and applications can be downloaded at http://sdps.ucdavis.edu/mso.htm. Applications 
are due by noon, Thursday, July 21 at Staff Development & Professional Services, TB 121. 
If you have any questions, please contact program coordinator, Paula Driver Shimada at 
pdshimada@ucdavis.edu  or 752-1255.
