Dear Colleagues,

I am reaching out to encourage you to become involved in issues affecting the UC Davis community by applying for membership on a UC Davis Administrative Advisory Committee for the 2025-26 year. The committees provide an opportunity for all constituencies – Academic Senate and Academic Federation members, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students – to advise campus leaders on priorities and recommendations.

The committees include:

• Advising for Equity
• Campus Judicial Board
• Child and Family Care
• Conflict of Interest
• Council on Student Affairs and Fees
• Course Materials and Services Fee and Miscellaneous Fees
• Disability Issues
• Media Board
• Mondavi Center
• Staff Diversity
• Status of Women At Davis
• Transportation Services

It is important that all of the Administrative Advisory Committees have strong representation from all members of our campus community, so I sincerely hope that you will consider serving on one of them.

As a member of an Administrative Advisory Committee, you can ensure that your constituency's perspectives are well represented in the committee's recommendations to the administration. You can also help representatives from other constituencies understand your interests and concerns and, in turn, learn more about their views of campus issues.

As indicated in our Principles of Community, we aspire to create an inclusive community. Therefore, committee members are selected based on the interest of applicants coupled with the desire to have each committee reflect multiple dimensions of diversity – for example, but not limited to, ethnicity, gender, student, staff, faculty, academic discipline, etc. – to inform administrative decision making.

I hope you will participate in this advisory system. An application form, a list of the committees with brief descriptions of their activities, and other information are available on the website at aac.ucdavis.edu. The deadline to submit applications is Friday, May 9, 2025. Thank you in advance for your interest and participation.

All the best,
Mary
