December 8: Inaugural Celebration of Cultures

Save the Date - Celebration of Cultures 12.8.2022

| Reserve Your Ticket | Thursday, December 8, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Town Square

You are invited to celebrate the diverse cultures and employees that comprise UC San Diego with multicultural food and performances at the inaugural Celebration of Cultures event on Thursday, December 8, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Town Square. The event theme “I Am UC San Diego,” recognizes that while we bring unique perspectives and diverse backgrounds, we are also united as a Triton community. As part of this event, all Tritons are invited to share stories, strengths and personal attributes that connect them to UC San Diego using the hashtag, #iAmUCSanDiego.

Tasting samples of Native American, Jamaican, Mexican and Japanese fare will be provided to the first 500 UC San Diego employees who reserve their ticket online through this link Reserve Your Ticket. If you are unable to register for the event, you can still enjoy the festivities as food truck vendors will also be selling menu items. In addition, the event will include cultural dance and musical performances, opportunity drawings, and more.

In recognition of this annual event, two hours of administrative leave with pay have been approved for employees to attend the event. Supervisors, upon request, may approve the use of such leave when the absence does not infringe upon the performance of required job duties or patient care.

We would like to thank the event partners VC-RMP IDEA Task Group, Human Resources, Black Staff Association (BSA), Chicano/Latino Staff Association (CLSA), Pan Asian Staff Association (PASA), and the Intertribal Resource Center (ITRC) at UC San Diego.

Please join us for this inaugural Celebration of Cultures event. We look forward to seeing you there.

June 16: 2nd Annual Juneteenth Celebration

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery across the nation and is often celebrated in African American communities with storytelling, special recipes and fellowship. During the UC San Diego celebration, we explored what the Juneteenth holiday meant for Americans, celebrated Black excellence, and explored ways in which all communities can observe, reflect, and educate in commemoration.

On behalf of the Black Staff Association and Executive Board and event sponsors, "Thank you for joining us in this joyous celebration!"

“Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won,
you earn it and win it in every generation.”
