UCSF Committee on Family Services
The UCSF Committee on Family Services, formerly the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee On Child Care (CACCC), was established in May 2001 by former UCSF Chancellor J. Michael Bishop. This group was created to evaluate child care needs and identify goals and action plans, with membership comprising a broad range of faculty, staff, trainees and students from the four schools, campus administration, and UCSF Health.
Beginning in 2011, the committee broadened its objectives beyond campus child care capacity to consider a range of family support opportunity. In addition to continuing to advocate for the additional capacity for high quality child care, the committee guided the development of family support programs such as parent education, lactation accommodation, back-up care and home help options and the development of the MyFamily.ucsf.edu web portal, including a dedicated web directory for new and expecting parents. The committee also reviews child care enrollment and policies to serve a diverse campus community.
Today the committee’s objective is to advance UCSF’s mission by advocating for a family-supportive environment for its interdisciplinary, diverse community to thrive. The group’s sponsor is Jon Giacomi, Associate Vice Chancellor of Campus Life Services.
