Research from the social sciences - including work by our own experts here at UC Irvine - finds that creating meaningful connections and spending time together with family, friends and community has protective benefits for our health and well-being.
As we look ahead to the coming winter break, I hope you all find time to reconnect with loved ones, recharge and come back renewed in the new year as we continue to boldly chart a boundaryless course in pursuit of positive change.
Have a wonderful winter break and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year!
