Department News

Welcome to our New Website!

posted by LINA LAYIKTEZ on 10/6/08   

Welcome to the new Campus Events and Visitor’s website. The site has been re-designed from the ground up to reflect the UC Davis brand, take advantage of current web and accessibility standards, and present our content in an organized and sensible way for you.

While the look and branding has changed and your links to content on our previous site perhaps no longer valid, you’ll find that all the content and applications have been brought over. In addition to transferring our information, we have also taken the opportunity to review all the content and in many instances, update and enhance it.

Some features to note are:

  • The tabs at the top of our site are now organized according to function rather than unit. The largest change is that content previously under “Conference & Event Services” and “University Event Services” can now be found in one section – “Event Services”.
  • The top right “Quick Links” drop down box is a quick way to get to the frequently referenced and accessed content and functions in our website.
  • Each tab section has a News page that will be updated frequently with information that is new and updated to that specific function.
  • For those of you who log into our website for our various applications, the “CEVS Applications” tab is where you access the login and our applications.
  • A new comment and feedback function has been added via the “Contact Us” tab.

 

I hope you take the time to get familiar with our new website. We’ll also be updating and enhancing our website regularly so I welcome you to come back often and browse. As always, feedback and comments are welcome.

Kathleen Moore Memorial Fund benefits OOA and ORMP

UC Davis OOA Logo

An endowment fund has been created to provide Career Advancement Awards to OOA and ORMP employees pursuing professional education and training. It is named in honor of the former assistant vice chancellor for administration who died of cancer in September 2007.

According to vice chancellor Stan Nosek, "Scholarships will help pay for the personal costs that university and departmental policy does not allow, such as childcare, a computer, home office supplies, tuition, to name a few."

Employees are invited to contribute to the Kathleen Moore Fund. Contributing to the fund is entirely optional, but will be appreciated. Increasing the endowment means more Career Advancement Awards available in the future.

To learn about the award program and how to contribute, go to http://vcadmin.ucdavis.edu/howto/recognition/career-advancement-kmoore-fund.cfm.

Memorial Union Closure Update

posted by MARK SY on 7/17/08 - last edited by TERESA BROWN on 11/19/08   

East Conference room in the Memorial Union has been reopened for event reservations through June 13, 2009.  The scheduled construction of new retail space has been postponed till the end of the academic year.   King Lounge, on the 2nd floor of the MU, has been opened as a new event space.  King Lounge offers a variety of set-up options and capacities similar to MUII.   For future events, the Mee room is a good alternate location to the East Conference room, as the capacity closely matches E. Conference room for lecture and classroom style configurations. Please visit the Campus Unions website to view floor plan options at: http://campusunions.ucdavis.edu

This summer, the Coffee House will be renovating all food service and dining areas.  Due to noise related issues with the construction and the need for a location to serve grab-and-go food, the MU II will be closing as an event space from June 6, 2009 through September 30, 2010. The Fielder and Garrison will remain open and available for use with the contingency that there will be noise related issues due to construction and the food service in MUII.   De Carli and Smith meeting rooms will, at times, be unavailable during certain phases of the construction. Campus Unions suggests that you consider King Lounge or the Cabernet room at the Silo as an alternative event space to MU II. If you have any questions regarding the upcoming changes in the MU meeting spaces, please contact Stephanie Eich at 752-4486 or via email at smeich@ucdavis.edu.
