Dear Members of the UC Santa Barbara Community,
At UC Santa Barbara, our staff members are the heartbeat of the university. They power our mission and make all that we do possible.
We are grateful for their work every single day, but in May we take extra time to celebrate those who have reached significant milestones in their careers—from five through 50+ years of service!
This year, we are proud to honor 427 outstanding staff members for their many achievements and profound dedication to UC Santa Barbara. They represent a vast range of departments and units across campus, and their efforts have been integral to our success.
So please, take a moment to visit our Service Milestones webpage, log in with your credentials, and write a congratulatory note to your colleagues and friends.
And to all of our honorees: Thank you for your hard work, ingenuity, expertise, creativity, and your heart. We are a world-class university because of you.
Sincerely,
Dennis Assanis, Chancellor
Ann-Marie Musto, Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Human Resources Officer
