Auxiliary Services
Ananda consistently provides excellent emotional support to our students. Her knowledge of resources beyond even the campus is a gift to our residents. Covid-19 has amplified the stress and worry of our residents. With our population working from home, the number of complaints and calls of concern has tripled. Ananda has continued to provide calm, practical solutions for our students and their families. She is a breath of fresh air during this uncertain time.
Office of the Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs
Wayne has been crucial and responsive in transitioning our team to work remotely so that we can assist students from afar! Especially in this remote environment, he has been key in solving daily problems that arise. Wayne always has a positive attitude towards requests and a keen understanding that our staff have different levels of technology comfort and sophistication and meets them where they are in their need. Very appreciative of all his help!
Student Life & Leadership
Janine has the most positive attitude out of anyone I know. During the pandemic, she has continued to serve students in person to ensure that their basic needs are met. Her coordination and organizational skills ensure smooth and safe outdoor distributions which allow us to serve over 250 students every week. She always make sure that students feel valued in their job and makes sure that students feel appreciated. Janine makes UC Irvine a better place!
Wellness, Health & Counseling Services
Jamie has been at the counseling center for more than a decade. While she has been an integral part of our operations as an administrative assistant, in her current role as assistant in the training program, she provides invaluable assistance to the training director, supervisors, and trainees at the center. She is involved in making sure the training program complies with board of psychology requirements, scheduling various intern activities and keeping track of important APA requirements.
