Hello UC Santa Cruz community,
I hope you are finding ways to relax and recharge as we enter the final weeks of summer. August is typically a slow month for the university, but 2020 is not typical, and our staff and faculty have been working diligently to prepare for the fall quarter. We remain on course for mostly remote instruction, with just a few in-person laboratory classes.

Right now, it looks like we will have fewer than 3,000 students living on campus when classes start Oct. 1. They will be a mix of graduate students and students with families who live at UCSC year-round, as well as some first-year students, new transfers, and continuing undergraduates. Expect more communications in the coming weeks detailing what fall will look like for those returning to campus and for those, like myself, who will be working or studying remotely.
In the interim, I am excited to announce two new campus-community partnerships — the stories are below — that are boosting our county’s ability to respond to COVID-19. Our researchers and scientists are among the best in their fields, and I am thrilled that their work is having a positive, tangible impact on our Santa Cruz community. I wrote about the power of these partnerships in the local newspaper.
Until I see you next, stay safe, stay well, and stay connected.
