• Staff Assembly Learn-at-Lunch
  
  Building Great Relationships
  Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009
  Time: 12:00 Noon - 1:00 P.M.
  Location: 1178 Franz Hall (Tower Building, next to Math Sciences)
  Speaker: Dr. Thomas Bradbury and Dr. Benjamin Karney
  Capacity: 275
  
  Great relationships make us happy, healthy, and productive—they can even improve our finances and benefit our children. But what makes for a great relationship? How can couples stay close and connected, especially in these difficult economic times? In this presentation, UCLA Professors Thomas Bradbury and Benjamin Karney identify three key principles that govern how relationships thrive and change. You will learn how these principles work, hear examples of them in action, and discover ways that you and your partner can use them to your advantage. Spend your lunch hour hearing about the latest research on love, marriage, and managing stress.
  
  Space is limited. If the session fills, you are encouraged to put your name on the waitlist so you can be contacted if additional space becomes available.

• All-Staff Picnic Cancellation
  
  After serious consideration, Staff Assembly has decided to cancel this year’s All-Staff Picnic, strictly as a cost-cutting measure. This was a difficult decision, made in consultation with Chancellor Block, who knows, as we do, how much the picnic means to many of you.
  
  Since it began in 2004, the picnic has become such a lively, festive event and a highlight of the summer that has grown steadily over the years. The 2007 picnic was where Acting Chancellor Abrams literally passed the baton to Chancellor Block, who had just arrived from the University of Virginia.
  
  Chancellor Block joins us in assuring you that we will bring the picnic back just as soon as our budget permits. In the meantime, please know that your talent, dedication and expertise are deeply appreciated, and even more so in times like these when we must work together to steer our great University through a resource crisis. We are encouraging schools and departments to take advantage of every opportunity to acknowledge the value of the staff’s dedication and commitment to the mission of the University.
