<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My next round of office hours for staff is this Friday, August 13<sup>th</sup> and Tuesday, August 17<sup>th</sup> for faculty. There are still a few appointments available for each date.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Instead of gathering in a large forum, I like to use my office hours to chat with you 1:1 or in small groups. It’s an opportunity to hear what’s on your mind and have a conversation with you. It also gives me a chance to answer any questions
or hear any concerns you may have, or you can use the time to share your perspectives and ideas.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To register for a 15-minute time slot, please go to the <a href="https://provost.ucr.edu/provost-office-hours">
registration page</a> on the Provost’s Office Website.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the appointments fill up before you get a chance to register, please feel free to look ahead and schedule time at some of the other upcoming occurrences for faculty and staff.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope to see you there, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor<o:p></o:p></p>
