PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE ANNUAL APPRECIATION BBQ

The past year has seen a tremendous amount of change, both within ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV and in the world around us. We launched What’s Next: The ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Strategy, as well as other key strategies, including the Strategic Research Plan, Equity Compass and People Plan, to chart our future direction at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV.

I am so grateful to the people and teams across the university who are actively working to embed these plans and foster an environment at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV where people can do their best work. Your contributions as employees—especially in times of change—are critical to ensuring that we are supporting each other, empowering our students and living up to our academic mission.

As we move into the summer months, I encourage you to take a step away from work and join us at the annual employee appreciation BBQ so we can thank you for all you do. Tell your coworkers and bring your whole team to come meet new friends, reunite with old ones and enjoy a delicious meal.
