COVID Chronicles

Volume 1, July 6, 2020

Hello UC Santa Cruz community,


I’d like to introduce you to what we’re calling the COVID Chronicles, an e-newsletter series intended to keep our extended community updated and uplifted during these difficult, unprecedented times.
Chancellor Cynthia Larive

In it, you’ll find a sampling of news about impactful COVID-related research unfolding on campus, engaging events being held virtually, as well as important campus updates. We hope these stories give you pride, hope, and inspiration.

 

Right now our collective energies are being focused primarily on planning for the 2020-21 academic year. You can read how we are approaching the fall quarter, and what students can expect, in this message to campus.


Please stay safe, stay well, and stay connected.
