"In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist."

 

–Angela Davis, UC Santa Cruz distinguished professor emerita

UCSC MINUTE
UCSC Minute video

We all miss our beloved campus so much, so we've created the UCSC Minute video series. One blissful minute each week of campus scenery—a balm for the soul in these stressful times. This week: graduating seniors donned their caps, gowns, and stoles for graduation photos at the campus sign and Porter squiggle. Enjoy a minute of UC Santa Cruz.
