Dear Colleagues, </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
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.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
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 (<a href="mailto:bbgoldstein@arizona.edu">bbgoldstein@arizona.edu</a>)
to receive a link to connect to the meeting. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
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.
