<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Dear Highlanders,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;color:black">We are approaching the culmination of an active and eventful spring quarter. For those of you who will be graduating, congratulations! For those of you working to wind down the year and return
the upcoming fall, I want to congratulate you on a job well done! You are almost done with the 2022-2023 academic year! It has been an exciting year with many events across the UCR community. It has been great to see the return of many signature events, and
the beginning of new traditions on campus. As you may know, the Associated Student Programming Board has been working hard to bring you UCR’s spring signature event known as
<b>Spring Splash</b> on <b>Saturday May 13, 2023</b>. This exciting large event is the last of the academic year.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;color:black">I want to remind you that no matter where you go, you are a Highlander and a UC Riverside student. You are the best this institution has to offer our community. Many of you live within the local
community. It is also important to remember that our neighbors live, work and move through the community just like you. I ask that you be mindful that your actions can affect our neighbors’ quality of life. If you decide to gather before or after Spring Splash,
please do so responsibly and safely. We want you to have a great experience but we also want to ensure that our local community members feel respected and safe. All of our actions in the community can impact our neighbors.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Times;color:black">I am confident that you will represent our campus with consideration, grace and demonstrate that our neighbors in the community of Riverside can be proud to be affiliated with UC Riverside. As
a resource and a reminder to be a good neighbor, I ask that you view this short clip (<a href="https://youtu.be/oAOpGMEGirY">https://youtu.be/oAOpGMEGirY</a> ) on the subject and remember that you are the greatest assets we have to offer this community. You
are a UCR Highlander no matter where you go! We are proud of you and it is a privilege to be working, living and learning alongside each one of you. I wish you much success this academic year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
