Juneteenth Celebration and Awards
Thursday, June 17, 2021

Also known as “Freedom Day,” “Emancipation Day” or “Jubilee,” Juneteenth is one of our country’s oldest celebrations of the abolition of slavery, but not every American is familiar with the observance. This year, we are hopeful that more members of our UC San Diego Triton community will take the opportunity to learn more about Juneteenth and explore the history and meaning of this annual event.

COVID-Related Caregiver Modified Duties Program
Deadline to apply: accepted on a rolling basis
The UCSD CCMD program will cover dependents of all ages, including children and dependent adults and elders. The program will be effective for two academic years beginning with the 2020-2021 academic year and may be adjusted after the first year. The dynamic nature of the situation requires flexible policies as we are likely to see oscillation in the severity of restrictions (e.g. periodic opening and closing of eldercare and daycare facilities and schools). While not a leave program itself, the CCCMD Program is an additional program intended to coordinate with existing leave plans.
