"I depart knowing that the University, at its core, remains strong. And that is because of the dedication, hard work and vision of its faculty, staff and students. They represent the foundation on which this great University has been built, and for that I express my heartfelt thanks to our entire community. I extend that same gratitude to the Board of Regents for honoring me with the privilege of this experience, as well as to my leadership team - from Provost Hume and Executive Vice President Bruce Darling, who have worked beside me for several years, to Executive Vice President Katherine Lapp, who has only recently joined the university. They all deserve credit for helping to steer this great university. They will provide UC with a strong and stable transition to a new president."
