<p style="margin-bottom:8.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As we finally conclude the summer, there's a lot we could discuss during this historic time. For the moment, I want to talk about a word that has stayed on my mind
since July 1<sup>st</sup>: pride.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">When I first applied to work for UCR in May of 2015, it was rooted in a sense of pride in the campus’ beginnings and amazing strides it made in a remarkably short
span of time. When I eventually received my opportunity to join UCR, I felt a deep sense of pride of where it was headed and the small role I could play. On each day, I've continued to feel that same pride when I interact with UCR’s small but engaged community.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As this has happened, I’ve experienced a simultaneous sense of pride in being one of thousands of UCR’s staff as we play an understated but pivotal role in where
the campus is going. In every component of the UCR Experience, staff continue to be the glue that keeps the university together. It’s in every action we do: Every paper we process, every meal cooked, every student given an encouraging nudge. Even as you read
this, our staff – whether working from their kitchen table or from a socially distant space on campus – are quietly working as UCR’s gears to keep things going.
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The actions of March 2020 serve as an amazing example of our campus’ capabilities. Over the course of less than a week, UCR’s staff helped to do the impossible by
taking the majority of our operations virtual. You responded to every challenge. You found innovative and creative ways to navigate the uncertainty. You continued to prove you are capable of exceptional things even in the greatest of uncertain circumstances.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The 2020-21 Academic year has and will continue to pose its own exceptional challenges. Still, I am confident and assured that despite our exceptional challenges,
we are equipped with an exceptional group that serves as UCR’s protectors.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8.25pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In closing, I just want to state my pride in each of you for what you have and will do over the next year. You are seen. You are valued. You are appreciated.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
