[Mona Nelson]

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you again for your support and participation in this year’s
Highlander Orientation. Your commitment to student success is unwavering
and greatly appreciated! As we begin the Fall Quarter, it is important to
take a moment and reflect on the work from Orientation 2025.

Dr. Brian Haynes and Dr. Louie Rodriguez will conduct listening sessions
with several departments to discuss the success and challenges with this
year’s Orientation. The goal is to listen to campus stakeholders and create
a strong foundation for changes as we look to 2026 and beyond.  The
following dates and times have been identified and all meetings will be
held in the Student Services Building 2nd Floor at The UE. Please RSVP here
<https://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8AoJrcMIjlXdGuO>. If you

please RSVP for any of the sessions.
