Eric Gadal
I have been a Bruin all my life. My father brought me up as a fan, and it was one of the best moments of my life when I was able to transfer from Santa Monica College to UCLA in 1988. I graduated in 1991 with a degree in English Literature. Upon graduation, I remained at UCLA. I accepted a full time position at ASUCLA, where I worked in the shipping and receiving area for the UCLA Store. I assisted in the opening of two offsite warehouses during my stint with ASUCLA, and I stayed them until 1998. I left UCLA for a couple of years, but I found that I missed the campus too much to stay away. I returned in 2002 as a property officer for the UCLA Police Department. In that position, I am responsible for the inventory control of all of the evidence we take in, maintenance of all police vehicles, and assisting in many other issues relating to campus safety and law enforcement. I have to be extremely detail oriented, and proactive in my role, which requires evidence to be cared for with very high legal standards. I have undergone extensive training in regards to evidence procedures, and I have also taken advantage of Campus Human Resources classes to help balance out my skills. I am also a recent graduate of the Staff Enrichment Program, class of 2010, and what I learned in that program cannot be underestimated. It was my participation in the Staff Enrichment Program that opened my eyes to the role that Staff Assembly plays in serving the most unsung of the UCLA family; the staff who make the University function.
In the past year, I have become far more active in UCLA life. I have been a task captain for the Volunteer Center at both the 2010 Volunteer Day and the UCLA –Peace Corps project that took place at the Veterans Administration Hospital. I went with Bruin Caucus to the Local Government Day at City Hall, and I made myself available to assist in many other opportunities that I found on campus. I discovered that doing these activities was rewarding, invigorating, and they definitely made me grow as a person. I found myself wanting to contribute more to UCLA and I feel that Staff Assembly is a perfect engine to accomplish that goal.
I will use the Secretary/ Historian position to become an ambassador for Staff Assembly. I want to encourage more participation throughout campus, and even reach the outlying areas of UCLA, such as the Hospitals, and get them more involved. I want to be of assistance to the other members of the board, and to help make the 2011--2012 year be a great success for Staff Assembly. I also want to assist in the preparations for the 35th anniversary of the program, because it will be here before we know it. I want to be a contributor, and I will be an active and involved member of Staff Assembly.
