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.

While we still manage global efforts to address the pandemic, let’s consider how our collective efforts to create safe and inclusive environments at the forefront of our commitments. I look forward to connecting with the community in meaningful ways and wish you and excellent start to the semester! Go Stars!
