A Message from Liz
![Liz Tovar](/sites/diversity.uiowa.edu/files/styles/square__384_x_384/public/2022-06/2022_04_29-Anne%20Frank%20Tree%20Planting-tschoon-055.jpg?h=c3635fa2&itok=tUcdLlKn)
I am keenly aware that while the UI has made great strides in developing a welcoming and respectful environment for all Hawkeyes but, we are not without our challenges. I firmly believe the foundation and decisions we set forth can positively impact the UI now and for years to come. A key component of this is working with campus and community leaders on incorporating more transparency and accountability. I welcome the opportunity to listen to all members of the community whose voices have not always been heard, and enact change where possible."
