With the start of a new year, I often think about new beginnings. This year we remain committed to providing our students with the tools, opportunities, and support systems to facilitate their success. We also remain committed to building initiatives that continuously aim to serve our communities. In this newsletter, you will find a series of stories that share and celebrate some of these efforts. We are also celebrating the success of UC Riverside’s first-ever comprehensive campaign, Living the Promise, with a weekend of events<https://ucr.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56d70dad2bc4603e5612002d9&id=4c7f76efc3&e=6536134a98> Feb. 18-20 that highlight the impact of philanthropy, and express gratitude to the generous donors who pushed the effort beyond expectations, including many of you. GSOE’s own Dr. Katherine Stavropoulos will be delivering a Tedx-style talk called “Baby Yoda and Your Brain” on Friday, Feb. 19. You can register for the celebration here<https://ucr.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56d70dad2bc4603e5612002d9&id=b8bfe6ac37&e=6536134a98>. I remain thankful to our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners for their dedication to our vision at UCR and GSOE. Even in these trying times, let’s remain hopeful as we continue our important work together and be visionary to imagine what is possible looking ahead.

With gratitude,

Louie F. Rodriguez
Interim Dean and Professor

February is Black History Month. African Student Programs and UCR Library have curated a website of resources to help those who want to learn and engage in the Black Lives Matter movement for the long haul — not just for Black History Month, but for a continuous engagement with Black liberation. We invite you to immerse yourself in the videos, podcasts, and readings (many available through the library), as well as information about local resources and Black-owned businesses.
