Student Affairs Spring Quarter News

Connecting + celebrating

Dear Anteaters,

photo of Vice Chancellor Banks As we come to the close of an eventful Spring Quarter, I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well and staying healthy. During this time of uncertainty my relationship with my family and friends has helped sustain me and bring me much needed joy and laughter.

We have much to celebrate: more than 12,000 Anteater grads make up UCI’s Class of 2020. We can all take pride in their achievement and send our wishes for continued success.

I hope you will take a few minutes to read on about some of Student Affairs’ recent awards, virtual activities and connections.

All my best,
Willie L. Banks Jr., Ph.D.
Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs
