“It is important for me to listen and learn from our faculty, our staff and our students,” said Pinto. “I’m also here to thank you for all the work you have done to advance this university.”

He shared UC’s overall progress toward accomplishing the platforms and pathways of “Next Lives Here,” the strategic direction he launched five years ago in 2018. President Pinto also detailed the vision and plans for the new pathways he has prioritized as the university moves into the Acceleration Phase of “Next Lives Here.”
