College Updates

College connection: UC Santa Cruz's colleges are a hallmark of the student experience here, the places where our alumni create some of their fondest memories. We would like to reconnect alumni with campus through their colleges. We've already started the Merrill Society. Let's get alumni from all 10 colleges to make their own society! Contact Mark Welden-Smith for details: mweldens@ucsc.edu.
