Over the past week, many in our country have learned what people from marginalized communities have already known.
We know that UCLA will be able to return to mostly in-person instruction if we do our part to wear a face covering and get vaccinated when the vaccine becomes available to us.
We know that the pandemic has affected everyone - especially our frontline workers and communities of color.
We know that armed insurrectionists are not treated with the same response from law enforcement as people of color who protest against injustice.
Knowing this, we hope this week's digest can affirm the feelings we are all experiencing in this moment.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with your thoughts and ideas for moving forward toward a more just society by emailing diversity@alumni.ucla.edu.
