UC San Diego | University Credit Union
The Campus Partnership Program is excited to announce the launch of a five-year strategic partnership with University Credit Union. University Credit Union is an environmentally conscious, not-for-profit financial cooperative that was founded by UC employees over 70 years ago to exclusively support higher education.
The comprehensive, campus-wide partnership with University Credit Union is another first for UC San Diego. As our official financial partner, University Credit Union supports our community holistically with a wealth of benefits that go beyond basic service provisions and one-off sponsorships. University Credit Union will provide our community with one-on-one consultations and educational workshops in financial management, as well as student internships. They will also sponsor all Athletics and Alumni events, and the Staff Association Scholarship Fund, which provides financial aid to employees pursuing professional development activities.
To learn more about the exclusive offers and benefits available to you, visit the UC San Diego | University Credit Union page on the IPPS Campus Partnership Program website.

New Concur Functionality: Name Edit Capability
Travelers can now self-manage the name that passes on to travel bookings.
Good news for travelers! Thanks to a recent enhancement, if a preferred name in Concur does not match the traveler's legal ID, that information can now be updated in Concur > Profile Settings > Personal Information. The changes update in real time so there is no delay in making travel arrangements using the name that matches the traveler's legal ID. If a traveler takes no action, the name that appears on booked tickets will be the preferred name from UCPath.

Ashlyn Bernal
Client Experience Supervisor
Exemplary Staff Employee Of The Year Recipient 2021-22!
|
|
|
"Ashlyn has been the primary procurement point of contact in Services & Support helping campus with questions ranging from basic navigation to more complex procurement policy. Because of this intimate level of engagement with campus she has built strong partnerships with departments, is the first to detect systemic issues, and is often the first one to offer a solution. As an example, after seeing and hearing about major discrepancies caused by a frequently missed field in the Oracle Procurement checkout screens, Ashlyn built a WalkMe validation step to catch and prevent future ledger and sub-ledger discrepancies. In the first three months of the validation launch alone, it corrected over 800 transactions, preventing hours of administrative work to correct the postings." - Kacy Marume
View the Awardee nomination to read more about Ashlyn's achievements that make her an exemplary employee.
Congratulations Ashlyn for this well-deserved honor. And THANK YOU for all you do in support of world-class education and research.

Next time you pass by The Trove, take a moment to check out the window mural created by UC San Diego Alumni and fellow IPPSters Trent Tomoyasu and Kristen Weidler. The duo collaborated for several months on this original design that beautifully captures The Trove's namesake and evokes the Triton Spirit while featuring some of San Diego's prominent marine life. The display showcases The Trove as an inviting and convenient hub that hosts a 'treasure trove' of services for the entire campus community. Visit TheTrove.ucsd.edu to see what's inside!
