As Dr. Marlaire writes:
鈥淚t is a profound honor to be entrusted with this responsibility. While acknowledging that there are always areas for me to grow and that my background is not as a scholar in Pacifica鈥檚 fields, I believe my two decades in higher education have prepared me to serve with care and clarity. With help from many of you, I have already learned so much since arriving at Pacifica in August. I have come to appreciate the Institute’s rich history, its potential, its challenges, and, most importantly, its enduring mission in depth psychology. Above all, it is the people鈥攊ts students, faculty, staff, and alumni鈥攚ho make Pacifica what it is.
In this interim role, I remain focused on what matters most: great teaching and great learning, made possible through a culture that is increasingly positive and collaborative. My commitment is to being transparent, communicative, and dedicated to acting in the best interests of Pacifica, its students, faculty, and staff. I am also committed to Pacifica鈥檚 mission, values, and roots in depth psychology, as we grow and work on uplifting them each day.
With the extraordinary talent and passion across our community, I am confident we will move forward effectively and in alignment with our highest aspirations. Thank you for the opportunity to serve, and for all that our community does to uphold Pacifica鈥檚 mission. Together, we will continue to tend soul in and of the world.鈥�
