 Dear UC Davis Staff,It is with great sorrow that Staff Assembly shares some truly heartbreaking news. Dan Ransom, the IT Director for Application Development at the School of Veterinary Medicine and 2023-24 Staff Assembly Chair, has unexpectedly passed away after dealing with a brief illness. In his roles as IT Director and Chair of Staff Assembly, Dan's contributions to the university's mission will forever be a part of his legacy. He was incredibly passionate about making UC Davis a community where every staff member felt welcome and could succeed.
