Dear Colleagues,
It’s here. The first edition of CAHNR’s new internal newsletter. With help from the CAHNR Staff Advisory Council, this communication will serve as a monthly touchpoint that will allow us to stay connected throughout the year and have some fun along the way – I’m sure the most popular section of the newsletter will be the one highlighting the UConn Dairy Bar’s sundae and shake of the month!
While I’ll share announcements and remind you of important dates, the goal is really to ensure that we foster a sense of community and connection despite being spread out around campus and the state. I also hope to reinforce our collective contribution to the College, our students, and the communities we serve. We may all be the current stewards of the CAHNR mission, but we join a long line of dedicated staff, innovative faculty, and talented students before us, so I may also share some fun facts or pictures from CAHNR’s past.
It was wonderful to see so many of you last week at the CAHNR Retirement Recognition event. We had the opportunity to come together and celebrate several colleagues who have retired over the last few years. A celebration postponed is better than no celebration at all in my book, especially when there’s UConn ice cream involved! Thank you to all who made it - photos will follow in the next newsletter!
Sending you all warm regards for the last bit of summer still ahead – thank you for all that you do.
Best,
Indrajeet Chaubey
Dean and Director
