Wed Nov 8 22:22:54 PST 2023

Dear COE Community,

Today I met with the Dean’s Student Advisory Board and was reminded why we are here.  The future is bright with the brilliance, strength, and care that our students bring. For those of you with student-facing roles, I thank you for the commitment and passion you bring to your work.

We have a lot going on in the COE and I’m grateful for each you. Thanks for showing up with your authentic self. We are better because of you.

Warmly,
Laura Lee
