Dozens of people gathered Wednesday (Feb. 1) on the Memorial Union’s South Patio for A Campuswide Moment of Reflection and a minute of silence for recent victims of violence around the nation. Sadness and tears marked the occasion but there was anger, too. “We can feel and be angry, we can be outraged, and we ought to be,” said the Rev. Quentisha Davis Wiles, senior pastor at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Sacramento. “The soul of our nation is wounded and it is grieving.”
“Fostering a sense of inclusiveness and community for all”
“We still have work to do,” Chancellor May declares
Chancellor Gary S. May presented his annual awards last week for achievement in diversity and community, honoring individuals and departments for notable contributions promoting “an environment that fosters a sense of inclusiveness and community for all.”
“It’s inspiring!” he declared Wednesday, April 28, during a virtual ceremony that replaced what would normally have been a reception at the Chancellor’s Residence.
“They’re the people who are helping UC Davis strengthen our connections and impact across our many communities,” the chancellor said.
