Employee Appreciation Week
May 11, 2023
Dear Wolf Pack Family,
We are entering one of the busiest and most invigorating times at our University, with Finals Week starting today and our annual Spring Commencement Ceremonies to be held on the Quad on May 18-20. Earlier this week we held our “Honor the Best” ceremony, where more than 100 individuals from throughout our campus were honored for their achievements and good work over the past academic year. It is in this spirit that I wish to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to all of the employees of our University.
As we move toward the milestone day of Commencement, it is important to remember that it is because of the collective work of all the people at our University that so many of these dreams of a lifetime are realized. Our employees provide our University with its heart. We see this every day on our campus, in all of our divisions and departments, throughout our colleges and schools, as more than 7,000 employees sustain and in fact give life to our mission of education, research and outreach. Your passion for our students, our friends, our community, and all of those you work with is a shining light and a reminder of why our institution is such a special place.
