“UC Families” is a new online newsletter and resource for faculty, staff and students at University of California campuses who are balancing academic goals or careers with family life.
The UC Families home page provides family resources on UC campuses, UC-wide policy and benefits information, and archives of past advice and discussions.
Subscribers can post questions or engage in discussions on topics such as managing work and family responsibilities, planning the optimal time to start a family, finding advice on progressing academically as a student parent, returning to academia after having a baby, or advocating for flexible work arrangements.
UC Families is the most recent newsletter addition to the Berkeley Parents Network, a no-fee Bay Area parent-to-parent advice newsletter serving 12,000 families. It is also a collaboration with the UC Faculty Family Friendly Edge Initiative, designed to develop and implement a comprehensive package of innovative work-family policies and programs for ladder-rank faculty in the UC system.
