With the spring 2014 issue of UC Santa Cruz Review magazine, we started a new alumni photo submission feature to highlight and celebrate the experiences, travels, and artistic insights of UCSC's diverse and fascinating alumni.
We selected two inaugural images and included the stories behind them.
Thomas Webb (Ph.D. '80, chemistry) and his wife, Mary Towne Webb (Porter '80, art), met while attending UCSC. Their youngest daughter, Sara T. Webb McCune, is also a UCSC grad (College Nine '10, psychology). Webb, now a director of medicinal chemistry in Menlo Park, took this photo while the couple visited Sara and their grandson in Portland, Ore., in 2012. They traveled to Sauvie Island outside Portland with the hope of spotting Tundra Swans. They found them.
Casandra Bergkamp (College Eight '10, environmental studies), took this picture in Telluride, Colo., while vising a friend—another former Slug! She captured the image on a hike to a frozen waterfall.
Send future submissions to review@ucsc.edu. See the rules and guidelines.
