Monthly Newsletter | June 2021

 

Dear WIT@UCSF Community,

As we begin to close the end of FY21 and welcome the new fiscal year, we are excited to share some exciting news. Besides celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride and Juneteenth this month, we would like to celebrate the accomplishments of two of our leadership team members who will be stepping down this cycle. Kat Li and Sarah Ngo have been instrumental in the development and continued success of WIT@UCSF. Please help us celebrate and give them kudos for their contribution to our community. Read their spotlights below for their bio, their hope and vision for our group as we continue to grow.  

We are also delighted to welcome Sarah Lisker and Stephanie Yee to our leadership team! We are very excited to have them and cannot wait to see them flourish in their positions. More information about Stephanie and Sarah to follow.

Finally, we are partnering with the Women of UCSF Health to create a networking opportunity for women to connect across UCSF. If you would like to give input, kindly fill out this survey.  

 

Power On!
