Hello Colleagues,
It is hard to believe that Spring Break is nearly here, but the time has certainly flown. In recent weeks, my meeting schedule has been divided between gatherings on Zoom and gatherings on campus, and I have to say that every time I am in an in-person meeting, the energy level in the room is HIGH. It is really refreshing to join our colleagues face-to-face and just feel the enthusiasm and happiness in the room. While Zoom continues to be an extremely effective tool for remote meetings, there is nothing like being in-person with your colleagues and students. Certainly the pinacle of the in-person experience on our campus will be the commencement ceremonies happening on our campus in May. What an exciting time for us, and what a tremendous celebration for our deserving students.
Earlier this week, our campus enjoyed the investiture of President Erika Beck, Ph.D., the sixth president of CSUN. The celebration was truly a time for all faculty, staff, and students at our university to look forward to a brighter, more equitable future built on our common ground.
Spring at CSUN is always a busy time, and faculty should make note that applications are now available for the Exceptional Service to Students awards, with a deadline of March 28. You will find more upcoming activities and good news below, including an update on the Road Map to the Future. Enjoy!
Mary Beth Walker, Ph.D.
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
