ProShare: It’s all about networking

Registration is underway for the 2019 session of ProShare, a program that aims to help Davis and Sacramento campus staff members develop and build connections with their colleagues across campus and across the causeway, for mutual guidance and support.

ProShare is for managers, aspiring managers and staff at all levels. The Administrative Management Group, or ADMAN, and Staff Assembly introduced the program in 2016 and continue to sponsor it.

The program works like this: Starting in January and running through July, participants will be assigned to small cohorts that will meet monthly for about 90 minutes. Within each cohort, each member will take a turn as the monthly host for programs that could include department tours, presentations to the group and discussions of key management issues.

The program also includes three plenary meetings, with the kickoff event on Jan. 22 in Davis.

The deadline to register is Dec. 14.

24-Hour Study Room and restrooms reopen

Shields Library is fully operational today (Nov. 13) after a sewer line break last week forced the closure of the 24-Hour Study Room and several restrooms.

The library closed the 24-Hour Study Room around midday last Wednesday (Nov. 7) due to odors from the sewer line break and the need to close the restrooms that serve that area of the library during the repair. Later that same afternoon, the library closed the restrooms that serve the Map Room on the lower level and those in the northeast corner of the second, third and fourth floors, because of their connections to the area under repair.

Fortunately, the leak was contained beneath the building throughout the incident, there was no contamination of the building interior or the grounds outside, and the issue was resolved in less than a week as repair work continued through the weekend.

“We are deeply grateful to Facilities Management for their rapid response to this emergency,” said Bill Garrity, deputy university librarian.
