Foreword from the President

Abstract

 As President of Sacramento State, I can confidently say that 2020-21 is officially the strangest year of my career. We have seen disruption in all aspects of our lives, and we have faced unprecedented challenges. At our University, like most educational institutions around the country and the world, Sacramento State transitioned to virtual learning and remote business operations within days once the threat of COVID-19 was apparent to our region. And yet, we have endured. We saw students and faculty pivot to their new reality with grace and determination. Students completed their courses, delivered speeches, and even defended their master’s thesis and dissertations over Zoom. I was, and I remain, awestruck by the resilience I see every day.
