Community, Belonging and Dialogue

UC San Diego thrives when every Triton feels empowered to follow their intellectual curiosity and pursue impactful opportunities.

We recognize that true excellence is achieved when we feel respected for our values, background and heritage, and have equitable opportunities to achieve our aspirations. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Organizational Transformation (VCOT) team is dedicated to transforming UC San Diego into an institution that lives this vision and we invite you to join us in building a community where everyone belongs.

Guided by UC San Diego’s mission and Principles of Community, we partner across the UC San Diego enterprise to foster a climate of respect, fairness and cooperation and offer a range of initiatives and programs that put these values into action.
