Dear Colleagues,
As the Fall semester concludes, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for the important work you do every day, for your wealth of knowledge, and for your positive and caring attitude. I see you every day working tirelessly to ensure that all Lakers feel welcome and supported, and that their dreams are wholeheartedly and actively embraced.
This weekend we will celebrate Commencement and honor our newest graduates! I look forward to seeing many of you at the ceremony sharing the excitement of this momentous occasion in the lives of our students and their families.
We will take a break from publishing Lakers Ready for the reminder of the semester. We will resume publication again on January 8, 2024, the first day of Winter classes. It has been a pleasure and an honor working with all of you. My very best wishes to you and your families for a restful and peaceful holiday break filled with moments of joy and rejuvenation.
With my highest regards and deepest gratitude
Fatma
