Subject: Please share: invitation to a conversation with President Robbins


Dear Colleagues,



As I shared during a recent Senior Leadership Team meeting, I would like to hold an open conversation with Black faculty members here at the University of Arizona. I hope to learn more about their experiences and discuss the University’s efforts to improve recruitment and retention of Black faculty members and staff.



Please share this note with Black faculty members in your colleges and departments, inviting them to attend a Zoom discussion on Monday, February 22, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. RSVPs should be directed to Brandon Goldstein in Presidential Events (bbgoldstein at arizona.edu<mailto:bbgoldstein at arizona.edu>) to receive a link to connect to the meeting.



I look forward to this important conversation, and I hope it is the beginning of ongoing and productive dialogue about the future of our campus.



Sincerely,



Robert C. Robbins, M.D.

President
