Dear colleagues,
As we welcome the start of the spring quarter, I know that we are all concerned about federal policy changes, adjustments in national priorities, and the uncertainty this has generated. I want to reassure you that we can and should remain committed to our shared values – fostering an inclusive community, academic freedom, and our critically important teaching, research and service mission.
The stories below recognize recent outstanding achievements of UC Irvine faculty, staff and students. Kyriacos Athanasiou and Eric Rignot were elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and five faculty members were named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Please read on to learn more about these and other ways in which UC Irvine people, research and programs are making an impact.
Please know that I appreciate your commitment and dedication and hope you have a productive quarter.
