Dear Chancellor Yang,

My name is Matt Winick, an Asian American from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, environment, and diversity. In these subjects or core values, I like to learn the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, expand on diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, improve on education reform to make learning a better tool, and many others. Chancellor Yang, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 5th Chancellor of University of California, Santa Barbara and your activism in the Asian American community to be very inspiring to me.

Another thing that I like about your work as Chancellor of University of California, Santa Barbara is how you expand on more research programs to help students get engage to learn how different topics can make a great difference for society, implement mental health services to help students who struggle with mental health to get the care they need, push for more scholarships to help low income students or minorities get assistance on getting into college or affording supplies, expand more literacy programs to allow tutors to help students including adults in the California area get help on improving their comprehension, and heavily express the need to reduce high tuition cost to help students from paying high costs in order to get a college. Besides your work as chancellor of University of California, Santa Barbara is I like on how you are how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights causes, advocate for environmental protection to reduce pollution, emphasize the need for more liberal arts in colleges, a strong need for criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants, dreamers, and refugees from being oppressed.   Also I like on how you use your role as an Asian American to help advocate including support Asian Americans rights including Asian American with disabilities’ rights, express the need for funds to help repair the Asian American community including their businesses, emphasize the need for educational awareness about Asian American culture including history, and many others.

I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Being an Asian American with a disability is hard for me because some Asians and some Asian Americans get judgmental about me being different from them or not meeting their standards. Also your role as an Asian and being an advocate along with a supporter of Asians with disabilities’ rights and Asian Americans with disabilities’ rights gives me confidence about being an Asian American with a disability when there are challenges. On your website and on Youtube I enjoy learning about your fundamental ideas to improve diversity, expand on education reform, and some ideas to improve social justice.  Your current role as 5th Chancellor of University of California, Santa Barbara helps give me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, environmental protection, diversity, education, and diversity. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, importance of education reform to improve learning,  have diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in society and education. I’m very proud on how you work hard to support civil rights, expand on education reform, improve diversity, make social justice stronger, and many others. Also I truly appreciate on how you use your role as an Asian American to help the Asian American community. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work, be confident about being an Asian American when there are challenges, and continue to learn different subjects.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I was wondering if you could share with me about what it is like being Chancellor of University of California,  Santa Barbara and some of your goals. I wish you the best to continue to make a great difference.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
