As our campus community enters into week four of our virtual spring quarter, I would like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to everyone for navigating the extreme challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The speed and grace at which you all were able to pivot complex education, healthcare and business procedures and practices has kept our academic enterprise moving forward during uncertainty. Thank you to our faculty, researchers, staff, students, parents and everyone in our hospitals and clinics.

As chancellor of UC San Diego, I am very proud of our health system and its dedicated employees for helping to make our community healthier and stronger.
