January 26, 2021 Provost Michael Kotlikoff, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Chair of the Presidential Advisors on Diversity and Equity Avery August, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joanne DeStefano, Vice President for Student and Campus Life Ryan Lombardi and Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Mary Opperman sent the following message Jan. 26: Last semester, our campus community came together as never before to enable a successful, in-person campus experience. It was also a time of vigorous activity and debate on our campus, with faculty, staff and students investing significant time and effort towards the critical, long-term goal of changing societal structures and systems that inherently privilege some more than others. We are writing to update you on these efforts.
