Dear members of the VCAF community,
There is no question that we have had a terrific year in terms of accomplishments. We were able to undertake several campus-wide system implementations and start a whole new area of work around revenue generation. We plan to continue to challenge the status quo and take risks for the benefit of Berkeley in the new year – plus have some fun. We cannot do any of this without the care, commitment, and hard work of everyone in our organization.
As we wrap up this year, I want to encourage you all to take a break, relax as much as possible and take care of yourselves. We need to recharge our batteries and renew our spirits before we begin again in 2013. That said, I recognize that some of you will be working through curtailment and have limited opportunities for an uninterrupted break. Even so I hope you will all have a moment to step back and think about how much each of you contributes to the greatness of this institution.
Happy Holidays!
John
