To our great sadness, we learned that Prof. Kelechi Kalu, Vice Provost of International Affairs, and Dr. Shirzadegan, Director of International Students & Scholars, are leaving UCR international office for good. They have been working hard to make the UCR a better place for our international community. Although they publicly stated that their resignation is due to personal reasons, we have reasons to believe otherwise. By signing this petition, we strongly demonstrate our support for them and demand their incumbency.
