[Ucrfacultyandstaff] Joanna Sosa

[Provost]

Dear Colleagues,
I am deeply saddened to inform the campus community of the March 16 death of Joanna Sosa, a Customer Service Coordinator in Housing Services.
Joanna joined the UCR community in October 2021 as a Lead Teacher in the toddler classroom at the Center for Early Childhood Education. In October 2022, she accepted a position with Housing Services as a Customer Service Coordinator, where she supervised a team of 11 student staff members, managed frontline customer service and student communications, and collaborated with partners campus-wide on campus and housing outreach events. Before joining UCR, Joanna served as a Lead Infant Teacher at the Family Service Association.

Joanna is remembered by colleagues for her amiability and kindness, incredible work ethic, and sincere dedication to her work and the people around her. We are grateful for her service to UCR and the campus community.

Please keep Joanna's family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts during this time of sorrow.

Liz
