incredible accomplishments of our graduating students, we also want to thank
each of you for the ways you contribute to our campus and surrounding
community. This season is a time of pride, celebration, and reflection on all
that you have achieved.</font></p>

loved ones, we encourage everyone to continue representing UC Riverside with
pride by being thoughtful, respectful, and responsible members of our
neighboring communities. Whether on campus, in local neighborhoods, or
throughout the city, your actions reflect the values of what it means to be a
Highlander. Remember, you are a UCR ambassador wherever you go. </font></p>

shared spaces, dispose of trash properly, and look out for one another during
celebrations. Small actions make a meaningful difference and help strengthen
the positive relationship between UCR students and our community neighbors.</font></p>

<p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><font color="#000000">Thank you for making this year memorable
through your leadership, resilience, activism, and commitment to community. We
are proud of all you have accomplished and look forward to celebrating your
continued success.</font></p>
