Dear Business Affairs,
As we reach the mid-point of summer, I am excited to take a moment to connect with you and share some updates. This week, we look forward to a day off in recognition of Independence Day. I hope you have the opportunity to relax with loved ones while reflecting on freedom and independence in a way that is meaningful to you.
I am excited to invite everyone to our upcoming Coffee Break on July 9. During this virtual event, enjoy a cup of coffee while sharing photos from your summer break. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with colleagues and build community. I hope to see you there!
As August approaches and our focus shifts toward the upcoming academic year, I want to express my gratitude for your continued dedication and hard work. The preparations we make now are crucial for ensuring a smooth and successful start, and I know that our team will rise to the occasion with the expertise and enthusiasm that define Business Affairs.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and I look forward to all the exciting things we will achieve together in the coming months.
Sincerely,
Veronica Salazar
