Dear UCR Community, <br>
<br>
After enduring more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, UCR is once again in the midst of another quarter unlike any other. We are in a fluid environment and have begun Winter 2022 cautiously in light of the Omicron variant. UCR continues to consider the
 health and safety of our campus community and will resume in-person operations as soon as it is safe to do so. Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, the students, staff, and faculty of UCR have watched the world change and have seen the impacts of
 the health, financial and social injustice crises. As we look to the future, the campus faces an important task of examining and discussing the consequences of the pandemic. What expectations do our students, campus partners, and communities have of higher
 education now? How have student lives changed and what impact will this “new normal” have on how we educate students?  We have already seen that students want to connect with their professors and UCR staff more than ever before. They have shown that campus
 community is important and that following COVID protocols are a must so that we can all engage in a residential campus experience.<br>
<br>
The journey UCR has taken from the start of the pandemic to now has not been an easy one. It has taken countless hours of hard work to ensure UCR is ready to face the challenges of a new academic year at a time unlike any other in the history of the university.
 The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled UCR and institutions globally to re-examine core operations and has spurred new and innovative collaborations. Our commitment to equity, retention, persistence, and student success has consistently served as our North Star,
 always guiding UE towards innovation. Along with our dedication to ensuring that students remain prepared, UE is focused on providing holistic support to faculty and staff and to improving instructional technologies based on pedagogically-sound best practices.
 This past summer, XCITE and ITS transformed 110 general assignment classrooms into RISE spaces, or Rooms for Increasing Student Engagement. This initiative gave the campus a chance to explore and integrate cutting-edge technology to improve the classroom experience
 for both students and faculty. Please <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LuECOv1zQ8&feature=youtu.be"><span style="color:#007C89">watch this short video to learn more</span></a>.  <br>
<br>
<a href="https://insideucr.ucr.edu/announcements/2021/10/01/student-success-resources"><span style="color:#007C89">With the approval of several student success initiatives from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF)</span></a> in the fall, staff,
 faculty, and students have seen an increase in available support as we continue navigating through the pandemic. UE helped to guide HEERF funding related to student success initiatives based on national best practices. Our colleges and schools also brought
 key initiatives forward to expand writing support, increase support for undergraduate research, provide outreach to students who “stopped-out” during the pandemic, and improve technology and peer mentor support for academic advising. UE is proud of the seven
 key initiatives that represent the holistic interventions that have aided to increase the retention of students in 2021. Some of those initiatives include partnering with Student Affairs to expand welcome week activities for incoming students, partnering with
 the Basic Needs department and the Financial Aid office on emergency completion grants for students who have pandemic-related emergencies, and increased supplemental instruction and tutoring support. HEERF funding has also made it possible for the Academic
 Resource Center (ARC) to acquire technology to create “anytime/anywhere” tutoring support. Please see the link above for the full list of initiatives.<br>
<br>
I hope the campus will join me in engaging conversations about the post-pandemic university and what it means for UCR.<br>
 <br>
All the best, </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
XCITE is partnering with PI Dr. Yat Sun Poon on a grant funded by the <a href="https://calearninglab.org/"><span style="color:#007C89">California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research</span></a>, entitled <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">A
 New Math Gateway</span></em>. This grant focuses on closing the equity gap for STEM retention among underrepresented students while maintaining equity in time-to-degree. XCITE has provided fundamental support by making course materials, such as a customizable
 eBook, available in Canvas, which can then be shared across both the UC and California Community College systems. This technology provides instructors with the ability to monitor student performance and determine if additional instruction is needed. <br>
<br>
The second grant, <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Enhancing Student Success via Active Adaptive Learning and Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning in Introductory Engineering Classes</span></em>, by Dr. Sundararajan Venkatadriagaram, enables
 researchers to explore the effectiveness and appropriateness of student performance and experience with adaptive learning technology. XCITE has developed the online platform and content consisting of interactive simulations, video lectures, and adaptive formative
 assessments. The interactive learning modules allow students to practice what they have learned and provide immediate feedback to help check for understanding. Each learning module has built-in functionality to collect student data, such as when they accessed
 the material, the amount of time spent in each interaction, and answers selected. Grades are pushed from the learning modules to the LMS, and student interaction information is sent to a dashboard displaying real-time data that instructors can view and analyze
 to identify opportunities to better assist students with mastery of course learning objectives.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020"><br>

 a range of topics including time management and study skills, gaining research and leadership experience, graduate school preparation, career development, and connecting with faculty. Student participants had the option of attending two quarterly seminars:
 “Public Speaking” and “Interpersonal Relationships.” The ARC also created a new seminar for ACE and 2nd Nature students, “Unmasking the Impostor Phenomenon,” to help students overcome feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.<br>
<br>
The ACE and 2nd Nature program also featured faculty-led workshops containing information about the faculty member’s research, interests, and experiences. The workshops were designed to encourage students to build relationships with peers and faculty. All rising
 second-year students were invited to participate and 151 students enrolled. For more information, please contact <a href="mailto:elena.perez@ucr.edu"><span style="color:#007C89">Elena Perez</span></a>, Coordinator of Tutorial Assistance Programs and Academic

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:#202020">In Fall 2020, Undergraduate Education launched the Campus Collective, a mentoring-by-text message program, to address social isolation and unfamiliarity with campus resources. Students
 connected to UCR student mentors by text message, which helped alleviate Zoom fatigue and built a greater sense of belonging. Mentors provided mentees with academic advice, social support, and resource referrals to campus support services. Overall, 36% of
 the freshman class and 32% of transfer students were mentees in the program, and 56% of mentors were first-generation students. One mentee said, “My mentor helped me answer a question that I had on adjusting to remote learning. She provided me with many useful
 tips and suggestions to stay on track throughout the quarter, like attending my professor’s office hours and setting a scheduled plan each day on my phone calendar to stay organized.” <br>
<br>
For Fall 2021, 46% of incoming freshmen and 35% of transfer students have been matched with mentors. Rising sophomores who used the system previously will continue their mentoring communications with their current mentors. Read more about the program in this

In Summer 2021, the University Innovation Alliance (UIA) summer internship project, Bridging the Gap from Education to Employment (BGEE), transitioned from Undergraduate Education to the Career Center. The Career Center’s Career Readiness Assessment Team, along
 with CHASS and BCOE faculty advisors, partnered with the City of Riverside, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Greater Riverside Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GRHCC) for the second annual Summer Bridge Experience. Sixteen UCR undergraduates
 were given the opportunity to gain career-related work experience and explore potential career paths in a paid, five-week internship. The EPA and City of Riverside interns worked to create educational videos supporting the City of Riverside’s food recovery
 programs and services related to <a href="https://youtu.be/Z4f8fOgRZqs"><span style="color:#007C89">anaerobic digestion</span></a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRcJ9jk-Bw8"><span style="color:#007C89">composting</span></a>. The GRHCC interns
 worked to evaluate two of the chamber’s entrepreneurship programs: Business Without Boundaries and Negocios Sin Barreras. The summer internship experience ended with all interns presenting their findings to the EPA, GRHCC and UCR faculty, staff, and administrators.<br>
