As we celebrate Pride Month at UC Davis, which includes all of our locations in Davis, Sacramento, and centers within and outside of California, we have great news to share about the ways the university is supporting gender recognition and inclusivity.

Starting July 15, 2024, new functionality will be enabled in UCPath, and every employee will be asked the next time they log in to select their pronouns, gender identity, and sexual orientation. 

You’re highly encouraged to provide this information so the University of California can develop services that accurately reflect the demographic profile of our community. We hope you will also take the time to update your race and ethnicity, veteran status and disability status, as all of this information helps the university better understand our workforce.

• To learn more about this change in UCPath and how to update your demographic data, please visit UCPath.
   

Enabling Lived Name across UCPath and other UC Davis IT systems marked another major milestone for the UC Davis Gender Recognition and Lived Name Initiative in implementing the UC-wide policy that affirms accurate identities of all members of the university community. We deeply appreciate the important work of the Gender Recognition and Lived Name Implementation Committee.

It is important for everyone to feel a sense of belonging at UC Davis. Employee resource groups like PRIDE - LGBTQ+ at UC Davis Health and the Chancellor’s Committee on LGBTQIA+ Communities are fostering community for employees with common interests, identities, and backgrounds across both campuses. 

• Explore the wide variety of Employee Resource Groups on the Davis campus and at UC Davis Health, attend a meeting, join their listserv, and become part of what makes UC Davis such a vibrant place and celebrated as a Best Employer for Diversity.
