Abstract

Dear University of Arizona Global Campus Faculty,

First and foremost, THANK YOU for your engagement and support throughout the last year. Faculty engagement is critical to the success of The Chronicle, especially as it has offered a means of support and resources for the faculty community during times of significant change, including the COVID crisis and the university’s transition to the University of Arizona Global Campus. At that time, we sought faculty feedback to select a new name for this publication. You did not disappoint! We received over 100 responses from faculty who voted or offered suggestions for the new name and appreciate your creativity and enthusiasm.

We are pleased to kick off 2021 with this first issue as the new UAGC Chronicle!

As the Chronicle team approached our planning for 2020, we prioritized increasing our readership rate. We are pleased to share Chronicle readership increased 40%. In 2021, we plan to capitalize on the momentum we gained in 2020 with readership rates and to focus on two new goals: providing a space for faculty to submit their research in progress and extending contribution opportunities to external academic partners. This publication has established itself as a tremendous opportunity to connect and engage with faculty. The Chronicle team is up for the challenge!

In this issue, you will find a new section: Faculty Voices. This section recognizes the diverse accomplishments of our faculty and aims to connect faculty within our community. Please share your accomplishments with us.

Additionally, we encourage faculty to share your ideas for this publication to TheUAGCChronicle@uagc.edu.
