Tickets for the annual Soaring to New Heights diversity celebration are being sold only through March 31, and no tickets will be sold at the door.
The event itself is scheduled for April 13 in Freeborn Hall, with an information fair starting at 11:15 a.m., and an international buffet lunch being served from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m.
The program, sponsored by the Office of Campus Community Relations, also includes the presentation of diversity awards and the Calvin E. Handy Leadership Award.
Only 600 tickets will be sold, and they must be purchased in advance. They are available through the Freeborn Hall ticket office. Tickets may be purchased in person or by phone, at (530) 752-1915; a $5 handling charge is assessed per phone order (whether you order one or more tickets, only one $5 handling charge is assessed).
Cash, checks payable to UC Regents and personal credit cards are accepted forms of payments. Departmental recharges are allowable; DaFIS account managers may send requests by e-mail, to occr@ucdavis.edu (include account number and number of tickets to be charged). Only requests from account managers will be accepted.
A campus directive states: "Department-unit representation at these events is highly recommended. Release time with supervisory approval is appropriate."
