Leadership Corner
To those receiving your master’s and doctoral degrees this month, I’d like to express my sincerest congratulations. Thank you for your contributions to our campus community.
I would like to express my thanks to everyone for their help and support during the university’s accreditation process and manifesting the quality of ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø every day through your work to support the university’s initiatives and mission.
With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us, please know that I am personally thankful for your hard work and dedication to diversity, equity and inclusive excellence.
With the end of the semester in sight and many beginning to plan for the holidays, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to each of you for your work and dedication to the university over the past year.
I am writing with an update on how we are moving forward to enhance ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø’s anti-racism and anti-harassment efforts to improve the campus experience so that all students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, feel welcome, valued and safe. I will continue meeting with student leaders through the semester to make sure I understand their perspectives as we make progress on these efforts.
We sat down with Scott Adler and Ann Schmiesing for a conversation about recent progress on task force recommendations and related graduate student issues. Learn more.
Looking back on my first year as chief of police, I want to share just a few of the ways the ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø Police Department has improved how we protect our Buffs.
The task force's final report addresses graduate student fees, health care services and stipends, and detailed information on recent investments the university has made in graduate student faculty compensation.
As the semester kicks off, know that the staff at the Graduate School, as well as the United Government of Graduate Students (UGGS), the many offices at Student Affairs, and, of course, your home department, are all here to support you.
Welcome to a new year at ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø! I hope you are looking forward to this year as much as I am. As you begin the fall semester, I encourage you to think about what you can do this year to leave your mark on campus. Everyone’s actions, no matter how big or small, can make a difference.
