coe-staff: the Weekly Vol. 3 #12

Wed Apr 27 17:32:38 PDT 2022

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Happy Week 5! In the blink of an eye, we have made it to mid-term. The pace is quick, and our schedules are busy, but I hope you take time to recognize and honor your accomplishments and also show gratitude to those around you. Speaking of gratitude, this week is Administrator Professional's Week (one day is simply not enough for this stellar group). I wish to recognize the administrative professionals in the College of Education who are critical to our operations. Please join me in showing some love to our business managers, executive assistants, academic coordinators, and professional staff (HR, finance, contracts, travel, communications, I/T etc.) who make our lives better. We see you and we appreciate you!

Warmly,

Laura Lee
