A leadership transition of this magnitude, even a temporary one, is of course a very significant undertaking and inevitably generates many questions and concerns.</p> <p>As you may have heard, President Napolitano spoke to me on Wednesday after 5 p.m. and only hours before my new assignment began. Staff in many offices sprang into action to support this sudden transition, for which I am deeply grateful.</p> May 02, 2016 - 6:57pm Cody Kitaura /news/message-acting-chancellor-hexter Statement from Acting Chancellor Ralph Hexter /news/statement-acting-chancellor-ralph-hexter <p>I intend to do all I can to be a strong and effective steward for ºÙºÙÊÓƵ for our students, faculty, staff and for our extended community. Throughout my years as provost, I have been proud to be a part of tremendous positive momentum in key areas, including enrolling more undergraduate Californians than any other UC campus. I appreciate the kindness and encouragement of our diverse campus community.&nbsp;I ask for your continued support as we move our great university forward.</p> April 28, 2016 - 3:26pm Andy Fell /news/statement-acting-chancellor-ralph-hexter
