May 18, 2020 Update from the Vice President and Dean

[Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension Weekly Bulletin]

Colleagues,

Now that graduation is behind us, I hope some of you will be able to take a bit of a breather and enjoy a change in pace from everything we've worked so hard to adapt over the past two months. I will be taking some vacation hours myself this week and hope you will each take some well-deserved rest when and where able this summer.

My deepest thanks to our team in Career and Academic Services and to CCT's Landmark Stories for putting together a truly memorable Virtual Graduation Convocation for our talented new alumni and their loved ones. I am looking forward one day to congratulating our May 2020 grads in person. If you didn't have a chance to watch Friday's video premiere, I encourage you to do so when you have a chance: https://www.facebook.com/uarizonaCALS/

Regards,
Shane
