August 2021 | Issue
Dear WIT Community,
You may have heard that August is National Wellness Month, and we hope you can take some time and space to focus on your wellness. (See the Events section below for a fun activity!)

We recently wrapped up Women's Conversation Circle, a virtual networking series hosted in partnership with the Women of UCSF Health. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest! If you were able to participate and have yet to share your feedback, please complete the brief survey as we look forward to incorporating your input into future programming. 

And if you haven't joined the WIT@UCSF group on MS Teams, we encourage you to do so to stay informed and engaged with fellow WIT members! Don't miss out on opportunities to weigh in on programming (like the poll below), network, learn about events, share resources, and more. You can join the WIT@UCSF Teams group by clicking this link or using the code: 9dbgn24.
 
Power On!
