Welcome to Spring 2021 -

A year ago when I wrote the message below, I had been here for less than 6 months and was full of optimism. Now, with nearly 17 months behind me, I remain full of optimism and continue to be excited about my work with all of you. There are many more challenges than we anticipated a year ago, but I believe we have and will continue to overcome them. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of some of the “community agreements” that we made in the past several months in light of the challenges presented by COVID-19.

To the campus community,

On Thursday, Jan. 28, we celebrate Data Privacy Day, a global effort which highlights the importance of privacy, the protection of personal information, and reminds us that privacy is essential to our work at UC Berkeley. This year, we are encouraging everyone to “Own Your Privacy,” by learning how to protect your online data. The need to protect our personal data has become increasingly important as more and more information about us is collected through our online interactions.

Dear Campus Community,

We are writing to share important academic resources and accommodation information for the Spring 2021 semester. We thank you for your continued dedication, creativity, and flexibility during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the arrival of the first vaccines, the end is in sight but we have to pull together for a little while longer.

Dear Campus Community,

Welcome to spring semester! While the campus is quiet and learning is taking place remotely because of pandemic conditions, we are so very pleased to be starting another cycle of learning and discovery.
