Michelle Chen
In my five years at UCLA, I have been responsible for planning and facilitating campus-wide events and conferences, including the UCLA BruinTech conferences and the annual Night to Honor Teaching event at the Chancellor’s Residence honoring the Distinguished Teaching Awards recipients. I have also helped with planning and logistics for the Staff Assembly 5K event for the past two years, which brought in almost a thousand runners each year. Most recently, I was a part of the planning committee for the UCLA Professional Development Program 20th Anniversary Celebration, a process that began as my team project while I was in PDP. Because the events I have worked on rely heavily on volunteers, I have had the privilege to work with people from very different backgrounds. More importantly, I have experience in inspiring staff outside of my department to contribute their time to these causes. Working with various campus groups has enabled me to understand the intricacies of campus policies and to build the relationships I need to put on successful events at UCLA.
I am interested in being a part of Staff Assembly because I would like to get more involved on campus and expand my personal and professional network. Staff Assembly brings together staff from all over campus, and I look forward to working with others that I would not have the opportunity of meeting otherwise. Serving as the Vice President of Events would also allow me to gain experience organizing and planning events on a larger scale. Having been a Bruin since my undergraduate years, it is important for me to continue to cultivate a sense of community at UCLA. Serving on the Staff Assembly Board would allow me to give back to the campus by organizing events that staff would enjoy.
As Vice President, Events, my goals are:
As Vice President of Events, my goal is to not only successfully continue the events that Staff Assembly is known for, but also to put on new and exciting events that staff would be interested in. I also want collaborate with the other Board members to ensure greater awareness and attendance at all the events. Additionally, I plan to work with other organizations to raise funds for Staff Assembly that can be used for events, awards, or scholarships for UCLA staff. My goal is to provide opportunities for all staff members to create lasting memories and relationships through their participation in Staff Assembly events.
