In this issue, read how UHD’s Center for Critical Race Studies is leading the charge for change and understanding in “Academic Activism”; revisit UHD's history-making campaign in “UHD Here, We Go!”; meet Loren J. Blanchard, incoming UHD President, and discover UHD's “Voices of Reassurance,” who provided guidance to the public during the earliest days of the pandemic.
