Staff on the Move! July 2019 Edition
Written by Justin Dela Cruz and Alex Austin
Moving up in one’s career affords new opportunities for professional growth and development. From expanding your network, acquiring new knowledge, and defining your own success, career mobility opens new doors and provides a sense of recognition. Our colleagues who recently moved to a new role and/or units within and outside of Haas can confirm that.
In recent months, multiple staff members in career appointments have either been promoted within their current unit or have applied and been selected to fill a vacant position. This mobility allows staff to transfer their skills, share their institutional knowledge and continue to grow professionally while staying in the UC system. We are so proud of each and every one of them.
Our best wishes for successful experiences and professional development to those who moved in the past year!
