As global trade dynamics continue to evolve (literally hour-by-hour), understanding the ripple effects of tariffs on pricing, supply chains, and sourcing strategies is more critical than ever. UC Systemwide Procurement (SWP) is leading a series of tariff education sessions as part of our Procurement Exchange webinar series in which we explore what these tariffs mean for finance and procurement professionals, and more importantly, what UC can do to prepare, adapt, and respond proactively.
Tariffs Webinar Series
The first tariff series webinar on May 30, “2025 Global Tariffs – Pricing Impact & Mitigation Strategies," was a resounding success, with hundreds of participants and a lively discussion. The second in the series on June 27, “UC Navigates Tariff Tides with Customs Broker ACS,” is a joint presentation with UC’s supplier partner, American Cargoservice, and will delve more deeply into the impacts of pricing and product availability on the University’s supply chain. Register and join us for this unique insider view into the dynamics of world trade in this particularly volatile time.
