ANR Update

As Open Enrollment begins, I have heard from many members of our community about how they will be impacted by increased medical premiums for UC plans next year.

Open Enrollment, your opportunity to enroll in the right benefits for you, started on Oct. 26 and extends through Nov. 17, 2023, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Health care costs and medical plan premiums are increasing nationwide, including for UC.

Similar to previous years, UC ANR units including research and extension centers, UCCE county offices, the Second Street Building in Davis and the UCOP Franklin Building in Oakland will be closed from Dec. 25, 2023, through Jan. 2, 2024, except for essential services.

It is my pleasure to announce that Darren Haver has accepted the position of Director of the Research and Extension Center System, effective July 1, 2023. Darren, who joined UC ANR in 1999 as a postgraduate researcher, has worked his way up the UC Cooperative Extension ranks.
