Promoting connectivity and engagement, WACSS holds many annual events in person and via zoom. The Annual Spring Forum provides panel discussions with campus leaders addressing connections between our work and administration, DEI, unions, WorkLife, and WACSS. The event attracts attendees from all across the campus. Building on this theme, WACSS hosts the Annual Summer Social in the Gardens. We also launched a book club named Beyond the Book, which grew 120% from Fall 2022 to Spring 2023, to increase networking opportunities, encourage discussion amongst staff and promote professional relationships.
