UI REACH Family, 

As we reach the height of summer, it's a perfect time to reflect on the remarkable accomplishments of the past academic year at UI REACH. This year has been filled with significant milestones and achievements that have made us all proud. From celebrating another graduating class to the numerous internship opportunities and advocacy trips, our community has thrived in countless ways.

It's challenging to encapsulate an entire year's worth of achievements in just a few pages, but we'll do our best to give you a comprehensive glimpse. We'll highlight our core areas and provide some exciting program-wide updates. As we reflect on the past year, we're also thrilled about the promising developments awaiting us in Fall 2025. So, read on, enjoy, and feel free to share the link to this newsletter with your family, friends, colleagues, and anyone else who might be interested in our endeavors.

Thank you for being an integral part of the UI REACH community. We couldn't have achieved these milestones without your support and dedication.

Warm regards, 

Bill Loyd
Charles and Mary Sukup UI REACH Director
