A critical component of the UC HSI Initiative is an advisory board comprising faculty, staff and administrators from each UC campus (with the exception of UCSF). This advisory group is integral to:

  • Informing the mission of the Initiative and how it can best serve members' campuses.
  • Serving as a conduit to individual campuses for information about the initiative and its actions.
  • Providing critical leadership for the work that is taking place on each campus.
  • Helping to make outside constituents, including other public sectors in California, aware of the work.
  • Engaging in broader national conversations related to HSIs.
