[Poscgrad] [Poscfaculty] department information meeting for international grad students

[Kim Yi Dionne]

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your patience. After reviewing the video, I noticed that
sharing it could identify a student present, so we've decided to delete the
video and to share only the audio recording (from my microphone only).

You can find the audio recording of our Friday town hall event here
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xr7F2pVJYY_lfSwnZgGqATCBna15Alp2/view?usp=sharing>
(you must be logged into your UCR Google account). If you've already
reviewed the slides
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13g0p9NVxqIElDS9-sGXM2k-tTRqLLqzCX7pKzMoP4kA/edit?usp=sharing>
I shared previously and want to just hear the Q&A raised during the town
hall, skip to 18:26 in the audio recording.

Since our town hall, we have learned that the Vice Provost of International
Affairs will hold their own town hall (instead of joining a departmental
meeting) on May 2. You can find more details here
<https://events.ucr.edu/event/international-affairsinternational-students-and-scholars-town-hall?utm_campaign=widget&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=UC+Riverside&_gl=1*ahuoyn*_ga*MjMwNjE1MDM1LjE3Mzc0OTg0MzU.*_ga_S8BZQKWST2*MTc0NTQyMTk5NS45MS4xLjE3NDU0MjIwMTkuMC4wLjA.*_ga_Z1RGSBHBF7*MTc0NTQyMTk5NS45MS4xLjE3NDU0MjIwMTkuMC4wLjA.>.
And we will continue to press for our questions sent to them earlier this
month to be answered (if not by email beforehand, then at that event).

Best,
kim
