 As we approach the 50th anniversary of UC Santa Cruz in 2015, here are 50 things you might not know about the campus.
#33. A lot of what happens in UCSC's science and engineering departments may seem like science fiction. But if you're looking for real science fiction, you'll find famous works of the genre archived at McHenry Library. Hugo Award–winning science fiction writer Robert Heinlein—author of Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers, and other classics—lived in Santa Cruz for two decades and was one of the first "friends" of McHenry Library. The author's complete archive is available at Special Collections. |
