鈥淚t has been a pleasure to work closely with both Regents Peacock and Espinoza, and on behalf of students, staff, and faculty, I want to thank them for their service,鈥� President Stephen G. Wells said. 

鈥淩egent Espinoza has been a stellar regent and didn鈥檛 hold back any hard questions. We deeply appreciate the leadership that Chair Peacock has provided 鈥� to me personally and to the university.鈥�
