I am behind on everything! Ever feel that way? Only two weeks into merit and promotion season and I am well behind on my self-imposed deadlines and already giving up the time I had set aside to read documents in order to accommodate other meetings. I have completed my initial review of seven documents so far, about 10% of the total documents to review. Somewhere in there I need to start in on the annual evaluations, too. Oh yeah, I suspect I need to think about my own evaluation in the somewhat near future. Still not bored.
The work across UC ANR continues to receive good press! Take a look at the kind words shared by our friends at the Imperial County Ag Commissioner's office about Oli, Jairo, and the entire Imperial team! Congratulations to all.
This week contains many ECOP-related meetings. Did I say that last week, too? That seems to be a theme, but I am almost halfway through my year as chair – maybe 40%. Time has flown by with not much checked off the list, yet. Conversations have moved us forward and there are action steps that remain.
I did have a chance to participate in most of a webinar on critical race theory today. The team that identified the speaker are to be commended. Truly an outstanding presenter who shared terrific videos. I believe it was recorded and need to remember to look for the link so that I can listen into the last 20 minutes of the webinar. Hopefully my schedule permits attendance at more of the Black History Month events.
Just a short post this week. I still have to prep a bit for tomorrow's adventures.
