All University staff are celebrated each academic year with a University Staff Professional Development Day (USPDD). Through the support of Emeritus Chancellor Richard Wells, the first Classified Staff day was held June 1, 2001.  Chancellor Singh continues this  support of University Staff by continuing this day of professional development.

 

Mark your calendars!

The 2026 USPDD will be held August 18, 2026  at Reeve Union from 7:30 am – 12:15 pm.
