Dear Campus Community,
We are pleased to announce the continuation of the Breastfeeding Support Program through a newly-formed partnership of the Foods for Health Institute [http://ffhi.ucdavis.edu] and Human Resources: WorkLife [http://www.hr.ucdavis.edu/
Current program components will remain intact—lactation sites equipped with hospital-grade breastpumps, consultations with a board-certified lactation consultant, breastfeeding support group meetings, and resources to facilitate a woman’s return-to-work/school from maternity leave. A campus policy regarding lactation accommodation is being finalized.
We are all very pleased that we will be able to continue this program that means so much to our campus community.
Karen Slakey Hull, Associate Vice Chancellor, Human Resources
Bruce German, Director, Foods for Health Institute, Professor, Food Science and Technology
Thank you to everyone who signed the online petition at my request and/or sent in letters to Chancellor Katehi on Eddie's behalf. This program was going to end in June because of budget cuts--thank goodness UC Davis realized that for only $12,000/year and serving so many campus women and their families it was too valuable to cut. You rock, UC Davis!
