By Jennifer Beauchamp | June 6, 2005
Attendees from the
inaugural People Expo
had this to share:
"I've
been with
the university
for six years
and learned
more all in
one place,
at one time
about the
university
than in the
total time
I've been
here."
"Overall, it was a very rewarding experience. I was able to meet people and increase my campus network of contacts."
"Excellent venue to help foster employee growth at UCSD."
"I enjoyed the People Expo. It had valuable information and I was able to meet new people." "In 3 words.I LOVED IT!"
