NOTE FROM PRESIDENT ELAM
I’m excited to announce that Occidental, together with DePauw, Oberlin, Macalester, Pomona and Skidmore, have launched the Liberal Arts College Racial Equity Leadership Alliance (LACRELA), a national coalition to address racial inequities on our campuses.
NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Four weeks into the fall semester, I could not be more impressed with Oxy staff, faculty and students. My interactions with everyone affirm everything I heard about Oxy before I arrived and leave me very optimistic for our future.
NOTE FROM HUMAN RESOURCES
As classes have begun and we embark on a new academic year, with all the excitement that it brings, it is clear that worldwide developments have created the need for resourcefulness, adaptability and understanding.
COMMUNITY UPDATES
The Oxy Campaign For Good & Homecoming Weekend: October is a particularly exciting time of year for the Institutional Advancement (IA) team. We just finished a series of outstanding events and I wanted to share an update on these activities, as they reflect the efforts of our entire campus community.
