ANR Update

Dear Colleagues, Governor Gavin Newsom released his May revised budget proposal for FY 2020-21 on Thursday, May 14.

As we continue our shelter-in-place practices, employees across the country are reporting that they are taking fewer breaks, spending more time in their chairs and in front of their screens, and experiencing an increase in competing work and family demands. Many of us are feeling Zoom exhaustion.

Recently, the UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program completed a UC ANR five-year statewide program review in 2019.

I am pleased to announce that UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) will be welcoming the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SAREP) back to being administered by UC ANR effective July 1, 2020.

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that Katherine Soule, Ph.D., will serve as ANR's new Assistant Vice Provost for Cooperative Extension.
