CONNECT  |  Wednesday, July 24|  Message from the VP

Dear Student Affairs Colleagues,

 Next week, the Mezquite Golf Tournament will return for its 14th year of fundraising for UNM student scholarships. The article below highlights Sergio Bermudez, an individual who has been generous in time and resources. I want to extend my gratitude to Sergio and recognize the teams in the VPSA office and College Enrichment Program who have been integral to the formation and continuing success of this tournament.

 It’s hard to believe, but Welcome Back Days are now less than a month away. While many of you will be facilitating your own welcome back activities, I hope you’ll join me in supporting your colleagues both by showing up and offering help when needed. I know that the capable and supportive hands of our Student Affairs colleagues can mean so much during those moments when so much needs to be done in so little time. One outstanding volunteer opportunity coming up this fall is for the UNM McNair Scholars research conference. I hope you’ll follow the link below if you have capacity to offer. I am so excited for all that is to come in the fall.

 In the meantime, we continue to host New Student Orientation, engage in our unit-specific annual planning meetings, and invest in our teams through professional and team development opportunities. We are also in the process of shaping the next stages of our strategic planning process. I appreciate the contributions you each make to shaping the future of our division.

 With appreciation,

 Eric
