A Message from Willie L. Banks Jr., Ph.D., Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs
Dear Anteater Families,
 
During these uncertain times, I hope that you and your families are doing well, staying healthy, and practicing social distancing. I know our students are extremely disappointed with the recent turn of events and I am, as well.  We love having our students on-campus and being there to help celebrate the milestones of their college careers. We are working every day to think of creative ways to engage our students and for them to remain connected to our UCI community. Even though we may be miles away from one another, we can still connect, support, and celebrate each other. We are here for you.
 
In this newsletter you will find useful resources for your students to use while they are away from campus. Please encourage them to take a look and reach out if they have any questions. I look forward to the day we may all meet again in person.
 
Zot Zot Zot!
