Alumni Weekend in April celebrated and honored UC Santa Cruz’s 50th anniversary in fittingly grand style. A record-breaking crowd of thousands enjoyed a farm-style lunch al fresco overlooking Monterey Bay, tours and scavenger hunts, musical performances, reunions, presentations, alumni wines and beers, and each other’s company.
The weekend included TEDx Santa Cruz; a keynote by M. Sanjayan (Ph.D. biology, ’97), host of the groundbreaking new PBS nature series EARTH A New Wild; lectures by legendary professors Bettina Aptheker and Craig Haney; alumni panels; and more.
