Dear colleagues,

Happy New Year! I hope you are starting 2023 rested and recharged.

It is good news that we can start the new year with ratified agreements between the University of California and our academic student employees, postdoctoral scholars, academic researchers, and graduate student researchers. While there is still much to be done as we move forward, I am confident that we can work together to continue our collective efforts to advance the research and teaching for which we are justifiably well known.

The new year also begins with an opportunity to recognize the achievements of colleagues across campus. The Academic Senate Distinguished Faculty Award recipients have been announced, with Roxane Cohen Silver being recognized with the Distinguished Senior Faculty Award for Research. A number of other faculty have received external acclaim for their efforts, including Philip Felgner and Payam Heydari, who were named National Academy of Inventors Fellows, and Michele Goodwin, who was elected president of the Law and Society Association, among others.

Please read on to learn about other faculty honors as well as recent research, inclusive excellence and student achievements. I appreciate your ongoing dedication and hard work as we begin the winter quarter.

Hal Stern
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
