Dear ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ faculty and staff,

This weekend, our nation will celebrate Juneteenth, a federal holiday that commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last of the enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas, were freed, two years after the and nearly nine decades after our nation’s founding. It is important that we have this historical awareness as we continue to focus on growing and embracing a culture of respect, diversity, inclusion and caring at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.Ìý

I encourage you to reflect, celebrate and to explore the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Share, Learn, Grow page to learn about ways to celebrate Juneteenth and engage in growing a more inclusive and caring community.

Thanks for choosing ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.

— Dan White, Chancellor
