COVID-19 Think Tanks:
Campus Life Services experienced significant disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. To help us plan for a strategic recovery, we established a series of Think Tanks. Those who participated in Think Tanks were from many different disciplines and included those with specialized backgrounds as well as participants from outside the industry being studied. Participants include members of the UCSF community, but mainly individuals unaffiliated with the university. Representatives were from diverse backgrounds, including age, gender, race.
Below are completed Think Tank Reports. Additional Think Tanks are being established.
