Message from the Chancellor
Dear Niner Nation,
As we start a new semester, we are resuming Niner Insider, which provides you with all the latest information on the news, events and celebrations on our campus. I encourage you to review it daily.
You will still occasionally receive emails with big announcements, like the one sent earlier today about changes to our spring semester, but we are going to do our best to give you a centralized location for most information. We hope this helps you plan your day and stay informed about the great work we are accomplishing together.
I send you all my best wishes for a healthy and successful spring. Go Niners!
Sincerely,
Sharon L. Gaber
Chancellor
