Dear Beach Community,A student group here at the university recently posted messages on social media that expressed support for recent attacks against Israel.For many, those posts — and an event the group is planning for this afternoon — are deeply offensive in light of the loss of life and unspeakable violence during this conflict.We reject any glorification of war or celebration of death, and we acknowledge the pain caused by speech that does.

Dear OneBeach Community,I write this in the midst of an ongoing tragedy in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank that intimately affects many in our Beach community. The conflict engulfing the region is horrifying, and the loss of innocent lives is heart wrenching. 

Dear Beach Community:I offer you a hearty welcome to a new academic year, with special greetings to our new students, faculty, staff, and administrators arriving at The Beach for the first time.At the start of each semester, I feel such energy and optimism about what's to come. I wish you every success as 2023-24 gets underway.

Dear Beach Community,As we continue implementing our Beach 2030 vision to create empowering environments for all, I issue a challenge to each of you and to myself. This challenge is inspired by findings from the recently released external audit of the CSU system related to the handling of Title IX infractions.
