There were many other extraordinary applicants and the choice was very difficult. Enormous thanks to Jade, Cassia, Ellen, Francis Mitalo (Office of Sustainability), Cynthia Gonzalez (Basic Needs) and Gustavo Plascencia (Dining Services) for investing considerable time and energy into selecting and interviewing the candidates. </div><div>Yay!</div><div>I hope that all of you are doing well.
