FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT VALUES Welcome to a new semester, OCU community!
As I start my second academic year in my role and reflect on the previous year, I am in awe at what we were able to accomplish together. There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ve expanded upon our ability to persevere even in a dynamic environment. It is my sincerest hope that we all take a moment to acknowledge where we’ve been and where we want to go. This, all while centering our wellness, helpful boundaries, and a heart of compassion for self and others.

I look forward to connecting with the community in meaningful ways and wish you and excellent start to the semester! Go Stars!
