It takes a great team working together to accomplish something extraordinary. Thankfully, we have 20-plus great teams.
On Feb. 14-16, the university’s athletic teams conducted a food drive to benefit the Bruin Community Pantry. While the women’s tennis team brought the most items (1,742), other teams really stepped up and added a significant amount of food to the pantry.
I am grateful beyond words to the athletic department administration who made this event a priority for the student-athletes.
Thank you EVERYONE who contributed time, money and energy to support the Bruin Community Pantry food bank and Grab & Go programs.
Sincerely,
Jere Witherspoon
