Campus
Executive recruitments
Technology
- On Dec. 3, the university ended its contract with Trumba, the vendor that provides the calendar on the central homesite. This means colleges and departments will no longer have a method to syndicate events across multiple °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ websites. Any offices with event pages that would like to be listed on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ homesite should contact the Office of Strategic Communications’ web team at scweb@ucdavis.edu.
Human resources
- — Contribution limits to the UC 403(b) and 457(b) pre-tax and Roth savings plans have increased in 2024.

Free subscriptions
- — The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ Library has purchased a license making this publication available online, free, to everyone with a ucdavis.edu email address.

If you have an authenticated °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ login, you have complimentary access. Note: Faculty and staff may periodically be prompted to renew; if you are a student, your access should remain active at all times while you are enrolled.
Safety

WarnMe
![red circle with 'warn me'](/sites/default/files/styles/sf_medium_width/public/media/images/warnme-686-200x198.jpeg?itok=gGjIiPKb)
- WarnMe tests are held three times each academic year. The most recent test was held April 24.
- provide faculty, staff, students and others with timely information and instructions during emergencies or other urgent situations that may directly affect their well-being. WarnMe messages and Aggie Alerts are distributed by email and text message and also posted to the Everbridge Mobile App and °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ’ official Facebook and Twitter accounts. Tests are scheduled three times during each academic year.

- Parents, vendors, contractors and others — You can sign up for text notifications only for the Davis campus and three other university locations (Bodega Marine Laboratory, Tahoe Environmental Research Center, and Continuing and Professional Education).
- Mobile app (limited to people with °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ email addresses) — The app includes a number of safety features and is an important option for °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ affiliates with international phone numbers, as WarnMe does not send text messages to international numbers.
Blood drives
- Blood drives are held on campus each quarter. Check back for the dates for future events.
![Big Shift title-index](/sites/default/files/media/images/big-shift4.jpg)
The Big Shift is the campuswide , whereby steam lines are being replaced with hot water lines. Heat exchangers in buildings will draw heat off the hot water, to heat the buildings, just like we do now with steam. The hot water system will use electricity (a renewable resource) to heat the water, instead of natural gas, a fossil fuel, that is used in the steam system. The hot water system will use less energy, because the water need not be heated to boiling (for steam), and will be safer to maintain. Current road and path closures are listed here, along with other project links:
