In brief

Parking permit renewals

With no increase in parking rates for 2007-08, employees are asked to make any changes they wish to their parking permit plans by June 8. If you want to change or cancel your multiyear parking permit, visit www.taps.ucdavis.edu.

If you decide to keep the same type of permit, you do not have to take any action — the appropriate payroll deduction will automatically continue, according to Transportation and Parking Services.

Rates range from $19 per month for M permits to $47 per month for A permits.

Brown bag: Analyze this

Staff Development and Professional Services will hold a noontime brown bag June 7 on the topic, "What does a UC Davis Analyst Do?" The workshop consists of a panel of UC Davis analysts who will talk about how to become an analyst. The location is the Mee Room, Memorial Union.

Campus safety workshops

The UC Davis Police Department will soon host training sessions to help members of the campus community prepare to increase the likelihood of surviving a shooting incident like Virginia Tech's.

The 90-minute sessions are scheduled for:

  • June 11, noon in Freeborn Hall;
  • June 18, noon in Sciences Lecture Hall; and;
  • June 18, 5 p.m. in Sciences Lecture Hall.

At the workshops, representatives from Counseling and Psychological Services and the Academic and Staff Assistance Program will describe some common responses experienced by survivors and witnesses to a catastrophic event and the role their programs would play.

Stem cell cooperation

Scientists at UC Merced and the Buck Institute for Age Research in Marin County have established a cooperative agreement with UC Davis to meet the oversight requirements of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine for stem cell research.

Under the terms of the agreement, UC Merced and the Buck Institute will use a UC Davis Health System medical and ethical standards committee to review any potential human subject research funded by CIRM.
