GLOBAL U HOLIDAY GREETINGS
Dear Colleagues and Partners,
As we close the year with reflection and celebration, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your ongoing support of global engagement at the University of Utah.
In a world marked by rapid change, complex challenges, and extraordinary interconnectedness, international competencies and partnerships play an increasingly vital role in the success of our students, faculty, and university.I encourage you to read more about, and be inspired by, the incredible and varied ways our community exemplifies “Global U” at global.utah.edu/stories.
As we look toward 2026, I am realistic about the challenges, but even more inspired by the possibilities. By expanding opportunities for students, strengthening research and scholarship networks, building capacity across borders, and fostering cultural understanding, we create more resilient, informed, and compassionate global communities. It’s work worth doing and your commitment to these efforts is deeply appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your support and advocacy in the year to come. In the meantime, we wish you a restful holiday season filled with peace, joy, curiosity, and connection.
Warmest regards,
Randy McCrillis
Senior International Officer, University of Utah Office for Global Engagement
