The Colleges


The University of California, Santa Cruz, is a collegiate university. All undergraduate students and most faculty are affiliated with one of the colleges, their home within the larger university. All the colleges are committed to fostering a nurturing and academically thriving environment for students of all backgrounds. Each college strives to promote the attributes of a diverse and multicultural community in its own unique way. In order of founding, the colleges are Cowell, Stevenson, Crown, Merrill, Porter, Kresge, Oakes, College Eight, College Nine, and College Ten.

Self-contained and architecturally distinct, each college is a relatively small community of 30 to 110 faculty members and between 1,400 and 1,500 students, about half of whom live on campus. Each college has its own housing, academic, and recreational facilities, and each is an integral part of the larger campus. The colleges have their own academic emphases and cultural traditions, although each seeks faculty and students from a variety of disciplines to foster broad intellectual interests. The colleges play a primary role in academic advising and are the center of student life. Students graduate from their college. At the same time, all university academic programs, resources, and student services are open to students of every college.

The information students need to rank their college preferences can come from a variety of sources—personal acquaintance, a campus visit, literature available from the colleges, and the descriptions in this section of the catalog. Entering students are asked to list several colleges in order of preference; whenever possible, students are assigned to the college of their choice.

Similarities and Differences

Each college is residential and able to house close to half of its students. Most frosh choose to live on campus, as do a number of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The particular style of housing varies among the colleges, ranging from fairly traditional residence halls, with a mix of single, double, and triple rooms, to apartment-style housing, where students live together in small groups and may do some of their own cooking. Faculty, staff, or graduate students, along with undergraduate resident assistants, reside in college housing units.

The faculty, or fellows, of each college come from a variety of academic disciplines. Some of the colleges have faculty from nearly all the liberal arts and sciences, while the faculty in other colleges are more concentrated in particular disciplinary interests. Many faculty have their offices in the colleges.

Each college offers its own distinctive academic program for entering frosh. Taught in the college during the fall quarter, the required course provides a significant bridge between academic and residential life, since all frosh, regardless of major, will be in the course, and most will be in residence as well. Stevenson’s core course extends over two quarters, while the other colleges offer one-quarter courses. College core course requirements for transfer students vary (see page 31). The colleges also offer selected courses in their area of interdisciplinary emphasis and host events and speakers that enhance this focus.

All the colleges provide academic advising and academic and general campus orientations to help you plan your academic program. In addition, each college has academic preceptors who can provide advice on academic matters. (See pages 36–39 for further information on academic advising.) Psychological and personal counseling is also available in each college, and many colleges have well-developed peer advising and tutoring.

The colleges differ in architecture; each was planned by a different architect, who was
encouraged to convey the distinct personality of that college through the design of its buildings and their placement in the natural environment. Above all, the colleges differ in subtle ways having to do with their intellectual and social traditions, the different designs of their student governments, and the predominant interests of their students and faculty.

Changing Colleges

Most students, having affiliated with a particular college, develop friendships and intellectual attachments there, and they remain members of that college throughout their undergraduate years. Some students find that changing academic interests draw them to a different college. During the specified filing period, students may request a change of college with the approval of both college administrations.

Cowell College

Cowell College inaugurated the Santa Cruz campus when it opened with a pioneer class of 600 students in 1965. The founding faculty shaped an educational program that challenged and enriched students through wide-ranging inquiry and disciplined study. Today, Cowell has nearly 1,500 affiliated students and 100 faculty fellows. Its motto—The Pursuit of Truth in the Company of Friends—expresses a continuing commitment to create a serious academic environment within a humane and broadly inclusive community. The college is named for the
S. H. Cowell Foundation, which endowed the college at its founding.

Academic Emphases

The academic theme of the college encourages students to pursue their general and disciplinary study with attention to the values of liberal arts education: understanding one’s individual perspective by exploration of its historical background and world context. Students affiliated with the college pursue majors from all departments on campus.

The faculty fellows affiliated with the college represent all academic divisions (arts, engineering, humanities, physical and biological sciences, and social sciences). The faculty fellows guide the college academic programs and serve as academic mentors to the students, supplementing the advising provided by the college academic advisers and departmental advising.

In satisfying their general education requirements, first-year Cowell students are required to take the Cowell Core Course in the fall term. The core course, Cowell 80, taught in small seminar sections, seeks to develop critical reading, analytical writing, and seminar discussion skills by reading a selection of classic and contemporary texts focused on the theme of justice.

The college academic buildings house humanities faculty, with notable concentrations in philosophy, classics (study of ancient Greek and Latin language and civilization), and modern foreign languages, especially Chinese, French, Italian, Russian, German, and Japanese. Interdisciplinary faculty groups in visual and performance studies and in pre- and early-modern studies are centered at Cowell College.

Students who develop ideas for research, creative projects, community service, or internship experiences may apply to the college provost for financial support. The college awards several annual scholarships, sponsors prizes for outstanding academic work, and acknowledges students who graduate with overall academic excellence in a breadth of study with College Honors.

The college enriches the intellectual and cultural life of the campus by sponsoring events of various kinds: lectures and presentations by local faculty and visiting scholars, theatrical and musical performances, and forums and debates on topics of current interest.

College Community and Facilities

Cowell’s seven residence halls and three apartment buildings are arranged in three quadrangles on a hillside overlooking the city of Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay. About 650 students are housed in the college. Each residence hall houses from 40 to 60 students and is divided into two wings, with seven to 11 residents on each floor. Most floors are coed, with men and women sharing common lounges and other facilities, but single-gender floors are provided for those who prefer this arrangement. Apartments house 185 continuing students in six-person units. The residential staff members facilitate diverse educational, social, and recreational programming to enhance the living and learning environment.

Arranged around the college’s central plaza are the dining hall, Page Smith Study Library, the fireside lounge, the coffee shop, and conference rooms and classrooms. Unique to Cowell College are the Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery, which regularly mounts exhibits, and the Cowell Press, where students can learn the fine technique of hand-operated letterpress printing.

Since the college’s founding, regularly scheduled College Nights in the dining hall have offered students, staff, and faculty a special meal and a rich mix of after-dinner programs presented by students and professional artists. Community life is enlivened by many other scheduled and impromptu intellectual, cultural, and social events.

The Student Senate meets weekly to discuss campus issues and student government. The Senate advises the college on the allocation of funds for student activities and programs. Members of the Senate are selected each year by lot, but any student may become a voting member by steady attendance at meetings. The college’s multicultural advisory board works with staff to create a supportive community for students of color affiliated with the college and to increase awareness of the many dimensions of diversity in the community.

Stevenson College

We are Stevensonians; we are free agents of history and masters of our own destinies. Every one of us is important, and we cherish our differences as much as we cherish our shared values of love, chivalry, honesty, hard work, and responsibility.

—Seung Kyun Joseph Mok,
Stevenson Alumnus/Regents Scholar

Stevenson College is named after former statesman and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai E. Stevenson. Our faculty, students, and staff take pride in intellectual critical inquiry, academic and civic leadership, and respect for students’ concerns about shared student governance, human rights, and social justice.

Stevenson College has a long-standing reputation for excellence in liberal education. The college strives to provide an academically, culturally, and socially supportive environment for all its members, fostering social responsibility and academic achievement. Stevenson has brought to the campus distinguished individuals such as Senator George McGovern, Congresswoman Bella Abzug, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, Chief of the Miwok Tribe Greg Sarris, Producer Lourdes Portillo, and Associate Director-Counsel Theodore M. Shaw of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

The college’s faculty and staff offer professional and personal service for the diverse needs of students. Faculty and staff assist students in all areas of their academic and social experience at Stevenson College, and are committed to instilling respect for the diverse backgrounds of Stevenson students.

Academic Emphases

• Faculty drawn from social sciences, humanities, natural sciences

• Two-quarter frosh core course

• Writing Assistants

• Junior Fellows Program

Stevenson distinguishes itself as the only college with a two-quarter core course intended to provide all first-year students with a common academic experience. The core course allows for more rigorous development of students’ critical, writing, and analytical skills. It provides a unique learning environment and a supportive intellectual community for all Stevenson first-year students. Students admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are able to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement. Stevenson alumni can be found in legal, political, educational, engineering, medical, computer and information sciences, business, and public administration careers, among others.

The faculty at Stevenson, drawn from a variety of disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and physical and biological sciences, share a common concern for the study of social processes that shape modern society and determine the quality of our individual lives throughout various global regions and periods of world history. Linguistics, sociology, history, politics, psychology, biology, chemistry, and computer science are strongly represented in the college.

The Stevenson core course, Self and Society (see page 432), enables students to examine the nature of the self and the relationship of the individual to society. In addition, the course fosters an intellectual commitment to the general philosophy that has helped to define Stevenson College since its inception: preservation of human dignity, the social cultivation of individual creativity and citizenship, and a belief in ethical responsibility. The core course reflects the college’s long-standing commitment to interdisciplinary and culturally diverse readings, while at the same time it affords students an opportunity to develop research interests, to acquire greater understanding of the role of research universities in contemporary societies, and to acquire the requisite skills to engage in increasingly more sophisticated intellectual work while at UCSC.

The Stevenson College Junior Fellows Program offers juniors and seniors an opportunity to serve as teaching and research assistants for Self and Society. Junior fellows, who must have completed outstanding work in Self and Society during their first year, undergo a rigorous application and selection process. Junior fellows (enrolled in Stevenson 120, Teaching Practicum) earn 5 course credits.

Stevenson provides writing assistance for all of its students. Stevenson Writing Assistantships are paid student positions open to juniors and seniors with excellent academic records.

College Community

• College Nights

• Stevenson Student Council

• Multicultural Advisory Committee

• Social and Multicultural Programs/Activities

• Rainbow Theater and Stevenson Theater Guild

Stevenson holds regular College Nights, where joining together for a special dinner presents an opportunity for Stevenson faculty, staff, and students to get together in a social context. College Nights—such as Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, Vietnamese College Night—provide the opportunity to celebrate many different cultures. Dinner is followed by entertainment.

The Stevenson Student Council meets on Thursday evenings. This group of 16 elected representatives (eight resident students, eight living off campus) is responsible for allocating college membership fees to student activities. The council also serves as a forum for the discussion of college and campuswide issues and appoints student representatives to college and campuswide committees.

Facilities

• Eight small residence halls

• Three apartment buildings

• Theme floors in residence halls

• Multicultural and Social Justice House

• Outdoor Adventure House

• Coffee house

• Wagstaff Fireside Lounge

• Writers’ Center

• Stevenson Library

• Stevenson Event Center

• Silverman Conference Room

• The Knoll

• Recreation room

Stevenson has a wide variety of facilities and activities to appeal to many tastes. The college, designed by San Francisco architect Joseph Esherick, has won many architectural awards. The buildings are situated amid redwood trees and sprawling lawns, and the main quad overlooks Monterey Bay. Stevenson is situated close to the campus bookstore, restaurants, McHenry Library, gym, and pool. There are eight small residence houses at the college providing a choice of single-gender or coed floors; each house accommodates about 60 undergraduates. The apartments provide space for 132 continuing students. Nearby are a picnic area, playing fields, and a garden.

The Stevenson Coffee House, which has become the gathering place in the college, is a friendly and inviting spot to enjoy lunch or an espresso and pastry—indoors or out on the patio. It is the scene of lively conversation, occasional musical entertainment, and chess matches. Adjoining the coffee house is a recreational wing, with Ping-Pong, foosball, pool tables, and television. This area is also the site of much socializing and spontaneous group activity.

In contrast, the Stevenson Library is a striking building designed for quiet reading and study. The Wagstaff Fireside Lounge, a retreat for relaxed discussion, is also used for recitals, special lectures, meetings, and residence house activities. Art exhibits (both student and professional) are on display throughout the year in the lounge, library, and coffee house.

Crown College

Crown College faculty and students represent a wide variety of academic disciplines. The majority of the faculty are in the physical, biological and social sciences. Although Crown has more science and engineering students than any of the other colleges, the majority of Crown’s students major in the social sciences, humanities, and arts. This diversity of interests and thinking enriches our intellectual environment.

An important goal of the college is to foster an appreciation for the contributions of diverse cultural groups and to provide an atmosphere in which issues of both diversity and common social purpose are integrated into a wide range of programs and discussions.

Crown is located on a hilltop surrounded by a redwood forest. The core buildings consist of an administration office, dining commons, lounge spaces, recreation facilities, study spaces, faculty offices, and classrooms built around a large patio and central fountain. The award-winning architecture with its white walls and high-pitched tiled roofs suggests a hillside Mediterranean village. The college’s residential facilities are made up of eight traditional residence hall buildings and eight apartment buildings housing approximately 700 students. The facilities at Crown College were built through a partnership of public funds and a gift from the Crown Zellerbach Foundation.

Academic Emphases

From the time of its founding in 1967, issues pertaining to the role of science and technology in society have been a focus of special interest at Crown College. We approach these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective that recognizes the influence of social and cultural factors on the scientific enterprise, as well as the ways in which science and technology influence our society.

The Crown College core course, Crown 80, Ethical Issues in Emerging Technologies: Participatory Evolution from Human to Posthuman, is an interdisciplinary seminar concerning the effects of these world-changing technologies and encourages students to develop decision-making strategies to steer these technologies. The course examines the impacts of these technologies on society using a variety of disciplinary approaches that engage the perspectives of both humanists and scientists. The fall-quarter core course is required of all nontransfer students during their first quarter at UCSC. As with the core courses from our sister colleges, the development of critical reading and writing skills is a major thrust of Crown 80. (See page 172 for the course description.)

The Crown-Merrill Science and Technology Learning Community is an innovative program to support first-year students who are interested in pursuing a major in the sciences. Students enrolled in this program live together, forming a supportive community that promotes collaborative learning and group problem solving. To facilitate this process, students are placed in a special section of Chemistry 1A or Math 3 and participate in a residentially based study group. The program is designed especially for students who have a strong interest in the sciences but feel slightly underprepared for university-level course work. It often acts as a bridge to the ACE Program in the physical and biological sciences and engineering (see page 38). Participation—limited to first-year students at Crown and Merrill Colleges—requires a commitment to succeed, a willingness to work hard, and a positive attitude.

The Crown Undergraduate Seminar in Science, Technology, and Society provides highly motivated students the opportunity to work closely with ladder-rank research faculty in a small seminar environment. Topics have included California Climate Change: Past, Present, and Future; Food Matters: Science, Technology, and Society; and an honors seminar on introductory computer architecture.

Juniors and seniors can participate in the college’s new Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program, which awards $800 fellowships to student-faculty teams and encourages their interaction through undergraduate research.

College Community and Facilities

Crown sponsors a wide variety of cocurricular events spanning cultural, educational, and social areas of interest. One popular series is the Science/Public Affairs Tables, informal dinners at the Provost’s House that offer students an opportunity to socalize with a faculty member outside the classroom and hear about his or her research.

Students become involved in Crown life by both initiating and participating in a wide range of activities. Social activities vary each year according to the interests of students. At the monthly College Night in the dining commons, a special dinner is followed by entertainment, both often sharing a common cultural theme. Some major events have become traditional: for example, Karaoke College Night, the Crown Formal, and Regression Night. Crown activities and dances draw students from all over campus. Outdoor activities organized by the student government, College Programs Office, or residential staff range from whale watching on the Monterey Bay to atomic bowling and from backpacking to stargazing.

The Crown Student Senate (CSS), the elec-ted student government at Crown, holds open weekly meetings to recommend fund allocations for student activities and to discuss issues of concern to students and the college. CSS also sponsors events to enhance the college experience, including the very popular pelagic shark lecture and Casino Night.

Crown offers two types of residential facilities: residence halls and apartments. Eight traditional residence halls each house approximately 60 students in single, double, and triple rooms in a coed environment (single-gender bedrooms with unisex bathrooms) or on all-female floors. For students particularly interested in living with and learning about a special-interest environment, Crown provides transfer floors, Outdoor Pursuits and Academic Success Houses, and a Science and Technology Learning Community.

In addition, the college has apartments for approximately 230 students above the first-year level. Like the residence halls, the apartments are built on a small scale. Each three-story building has two or three apartments per floor that house four or five students in a combination of single, double, and triple rooms and include a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, and outside deck.

Other facilities in the college include the Crown Library study space; a modern computer laboratory housing Sun workstations, which provides students with access to several kinds of systems and an array of applications and instructional software selected to support academic course work; the Fireside Lounge with widescreen television; the Music Practice Room; and the Crown-Merrill Community Room, which has a television, pool table, foosball, and ping-pong table, and provides an informal place to study, hold meetings, or just visit with friends. Dining facilities boast continuous dining, late-night dining, and Banana Joe’s convenience store.

Merrill College

Merrill College seeks to expand its students’ awareness of their own heritage and of the diversity of cultures around the world, past and present. Drawn largely from history as well as the social sciences, literature, and foreign languages, many Merrill faculty specialize in social theory, international affairs, and social change. The college makes a special effort to be a home for students from different cultural backgrounds and for international students; it presents unusual opportunities to those who value multicultural perspectives. Merrill is a center for Spanish language and Latin American
and Latino studies and has been active in sponsoring American Indian cultural and academic activities.

Academic Emphases

Identities and Global Consciousness is the theme of Merrill College and in the homonymous Core Course, students read four books: Daoud Hari’s The Translator; Le Ly Hayslip’s When Heaven and Earth Changed Places; Fatima Mernissi’s Dreams of Trespass; and Luis Rodriguez’s Always Running. Additionally, students are introduced to a selection of secondary sources that supplement and enrich the aforementioned readings. All the Core Course readings are first-person narratives—memoirs or autobiographical works of fiction. They bear witness not only to conflict and crisis but also to individual strength and hope. They constitute material examples of how individuals and communities have dealt with various forms of crisis and conflict, and how people often turn to social activism as a form of healing the wounds left to communities and to individuals as a result of violence.

Through these astonishing personal narratives, the great movements of nationalism, imperialism, and globalization, and their attendant cultural clashes, religious conflicts, and social and gender inequalities are explored. Students are introduced to a myriad of opinions that will heighten their awareness of how differences and diversity relate to contemporary issues of global import. In addition, these secondary readings explore theories that seek to explain the persistent underdevelopment of many countries in the world, and the increasing poverty in the U.S.

Those admitted as transfer students are exempt from the Core Course requirement but may take it at their discretion.

Two thousand eight marks the 12th year of the Merrill Frosh Scholars Program. Roughly 22 students are selected by Merrill College to participate; it combines a more rigorous approach to academics as well as service learning, for a more comprehensive first-year experience. Participants take two 5-credit seminar courses—one in the fall (a designated section of the Core Course) and one in the spring quarter (a frosh seminar), do service work in a nearby elementary school throughout the academic year, and take part in extracurricular activities organized by the college provost during the winter quarter. Interested high school seniors apply by writing directly to the Merrill provost, after admission.

Two thousand eight also marks the fourth year of the Merrill College Distinguished Visiting Scholars Program, which hosts public and class presentations by national and international academics, artists, writers, and activists, representing a wide variety of perspectives.

Merrill also sponsors a variety of 2- and 5-credit courses on topics that change from year to year, recently ranging from the benefits of reevaluation counseling, to personal empowerment, to Caribbean migrations. Enrollment in these courses is kept to a size that facilitates discussion. In addition, students can participate in Classroom Connection, a service-learning course that provides students with the opportunity to volunteer in local elementary school classrooms.

Recognizing the increasingly rigorous requirements for science majors, Merrill—in collaboration with the Academic Excellence Program—coordinates the Science Learning Community to support students majoring in the sciences. Students participating in the program enroll in small discussion sections that encourage a collaborative learning approach.

In 2007–08, Merrill College began an Undergraduate Mentorship Program. The Merrill Mentorship Program aims to inspire and prepare undergraduate students to pursue graduate studies. It is designed to provide research experience and personal and professional development for Merrill students. Merrill faculty participants nominate a student whose work they are familiar with and whose interests are similar to their own area of research and expertise. Students who participate in the program (juniors and seniors) will be employed as research assistants by their faculty mentors, and receive up to $1,000 for the school year.

Merrill serves as the administrative home for the Departments of Politics and Legal Studies, and Latin American and Latino Studies. Merrill is also the home of a Peace Corps satellite office, which helps UCSC students who are interested in working overseas apply to the Peace Corps after graduation. It also houses the Chicano/Latino Research Center; the CineMedia Project; UCSC’s Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, Intersex Resource Center (a.k.a. the Lionel Cantú Center); the student-run Pottery Co-op, the only one of its kind at UCSC; and the Ming Ong Computer Center, a modern computer facility with more than 40 state-of-the-art personal computers.

College Community and Facilities

Located on a hilltop, Merrill’s award-winning buildings thread upward through the edge of a redwood forest. The brick patios, gardens, outdoor café, and mission bell tower suggest California’s Latino heritage, while the striking architecture of the residence halls is modern.

Merrill has four residence halls offering students both coed and single-gender floors. Two high-rise structures house 400 students, and two smaller buildings provide housing for about 100 students. In the residence halls, groups of about 14 students share common bathroom and lounge facilities. Residents eat their meals in the Crown–Merrill Dining Hall.

Apartments, which are located a short distance from the central part of the college, house 180 continuing Merrill students. Grouped amid winding pathways and redwood trees, these three-story buildings have three apartments per floor. Each apartment houses four to six students and comes fully equipped with kitchen and bath, large living area, and outside deck. Facilities at the apartment complex include common lounges, a large community room, and a laundry room.

With the help of the Merrill Coordinators for Residential Education, an enthusiastic residential staff plans recreational activities that include potluck dinners, intramural sports competitions, dances, musical events, film series, and a yearly outdoor mural-painting party. Many of these social and educational activities focus on building a multicultural community. Informal discussions, to which faculty are invited, take place throughout the year. In addition to the dining hall, the college has an attractive outdoor/indoor taqueria. A variety of college and campuswide events take place at the Merrill Cultural Center. Merrill is the only college that has a student-run pottery co-op. Students can throw, fire, and glaze their works in the workshop space, which is open to Merrill students on a first-come first-served basis.

The physical facilities of Merrill College were provided through a partnership of public funds and gifts from the Charles E. Merrill Trust and the family of Ming Ong. The Joel Frankel Fund, a Merrill scholarship, supports students pursuing fieldwork in Latin America.

Porter College

The Porter College theme, Arts in a Multicultural Society, reflects the consensus among Porter College fellows that the creative process is an inseparable aspect of a broad-minded and rigorous education. The seminars, cocurricular activities, and cultural environment at Porter encourage creativity in all fields—from composition to community studies to computer programming.

Academic Emphases

Porter’s faculty includes most of the campus’s practicing artists and art scholars, though some of the college’s faculty (and half of its students) specialize in the humanities or in the physical and biological or social sciences. The college is the administrative home of the Division of the Arts and the History of Art and Visual Culture Department. The Digital Arts and New Media Program also has offices here.

Porter 80, the core course focuses on writing across the arts, with concentration on literature and arts of California and the Pacific Rim. Those who are admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are permitted to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement. Students meet with their faculty member in a seminar, attend regular lecture/performances, and participate in writing groups, advising, and other sessions that introduce some of the academic issues they will confront at the university. The course emphasizes critical reading, writing, and close intellectual contact with faculty and other students.

The college also offers 2-credit courses in a variety of areas connected to the arts. These are small classes in the practice or theory of the arts; they may include investigation of a particular style of music or dance, visits to Bay Area theaters and museums, working in the arts, or creation of a show in one of the college galleries. These diverse offerings allow Porter students to understand the significance of creativity in a university education.

The college provides fellowship funds each year to talented students pursuing original research and creative projects.

College Community and Facilities

The traditional residence halls and apartments play an important role in bringing the college community together. Students are encouraged to spend their beginning years in residence in the college, where housing is available for 845 students. The residence halls are divided into smaller units, with from 20 to 35 students sharing common lounges and other facilities. Theme halls include Performing Arts, Film and Digital Media, Gender Studies, Visual Arts, and Outdoors Experiences. Students also have a choice of quiet/intensive study, same gender, or substance-free halls. The six-person apartments are reserved for upper-division students.

In addition to traditional classrooms, Porter has many specialized facilities such as a fireside lounge, galleries, a study center, and a dining hall that converts to a theater space. The Arts Instructional Computing Laboratories, located at Porter College, consist of two high-end labs oriented toward the arts.

Adjacent to the college are the campus’s Theater Arts Center (see page 433), the Elena Baskin Visual Arts Center (see page 124), and the Music Center (see page 362).

Porter provides constructive opportunities for relaxation and recreation to balance the intellectual demands of a university education. The Porter Activities Office, in conjunction with the Porter Student Senate, organizes formal and informal events, including dances and recreational activities, which augment campuswide activities in these areas. For relaxation, Porter students and faculty gather at the college’s coffeehouse—the Hungry Slug.

Many students and faculty perform or exhibit their work at Porter, and cultural events are a constant feature of life at the college. The dining commons has been the site of performances by artists such as El Teatro Campesino, lectures and readings by contemporary authors such as Amiri Baraka, and performances by artists such as Komar & Melamid and Nina Wise.

Porter College facilities were constructed through a partnership of public funds and a gift from the Porter-Sesnon family of Santa Cruz. Part of the gift was used to establish an endowment for the college.

Kresge College

Kresge is an experience that will allow you
to learn a lot about yourself, be independent and learn to take responsibility for yourself.

—Yvette Keller, Psychology and
Modern Literature (double major)

Academic Emphases

Kresge faculty are primarily from the humanities; they include anthropologists, artists, writers, dramatists, journalists, and political theorists. The college houses the Departments of Literature and Women’s Studies, the Writing Program, the journalism minor, and the Dickens Project.

Kresge’s core course 80, Power and Representation (see page 316), invites active participation in the creation of new social possibilities. The Kresge core course is an examination of key moments at the middle and end
of the 20th century. The class focuses on Hiroshima and the dawn of the atomic age; and the social movements of the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s, including civil rights, the Vietnam War, the women’s movement, and the gay and lesbian movement. Each instructor has a special two-week period to examine topics the instuctor is well versed in, and which reflect the overall focus of the core curriculum. The last part of the course deals with the economic downturn of the 1990s. In addition to section meetings, on Tuesday nights all students come together to watch core-related films or performers or listen to lectures.

The core course seeks to open avenues to new ways of thinking and to various academic disciplines at the university, as it integrates the student’s intellectual, social, and personal lives in a stimulating and supportive environment. The core course develops critical writing and thinking skills that prepare students for the rapidly changing multicultural world of the year 2006 and beyond. Special sections of the core course are designed specifically for transfer students, who can enroll in this course as an elective. These sections emphasize the same issues and skills development within a context that explores a transfer student’s particular concerns on entering the university. Those who are admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are permitted to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement.

In addition to the core course, Kresge offers a series of courses taught by faculty affiliated with the college. These courses give students a chance to study in small groups with faculty on topics close to faculty research interests and provide training in skills helpful to students as they begin their majors. A new array of classes is offered each year. Some of the courses in the past have been taught by senior faculty in mathematics, anthropology, history, literature, and journalism.

Residential Life

Kresge was the sixth college to be built on the UCSC campus. The college was founded on the principle of participatory democracy as a means of encouraging a strong sense of community. Architecturally renowned, Kresge has apartments rather than residence halls.

The Kresge apartments attract students with a strong sense of independence and community participation. Distinctively designed, the apartments are configured for five to eight people. Kitchen and living areas look out onto the street, with other rooms facing the surrounding redwood forest. At Kresge East, apartments are folded into the forest for greater quiet. These apartments with three single and four double bedrooms are typically reserved for continuing upper-division students. The Kresge three-to-four-person “in-fill” apartments are reserved for continuing upper-division students. These two-bedroom apartments have an efficiency-style kitchen/living area.

The residential life staff at Kresge work to bring students of similar interests and diverse backgrounds together academically and socially by designing special programming based on student interest. The programs focus on celebrating the diversity of the residential community, on multicultural community-building, and on enhancing academic success, through film series, music events, career and graduate school advising, mural painting, food-centered events, field trips, and other creative programming ideas.

[Living at Kresge] takes a person who is confident with who they are . . . someone who is independent. You cook your own meals, live in a house environment with others who don’t necessarily share the same view as you. It is a lot of work, but it has a big payoff. The people I lived with are still my best friends today.

—Samantha Vincent, Psychology

Community Life

There are a wide variety of events and activities at the college that shape community life: Lectures, workshops, trips, plays, dances, concerts, and films are a regular part of student life at the college. The nature and tenor of these events are a reflection of the interests and dedication of students and staff, who are committed to providing voice and opportunity for all community members.

Students actively shape the college community through participation in Kresge Parliament, an openly structured student organization responsible for voting the allocation of all college membership fees in support of activities and events. Parliament and Town Meetings also serve as a forum for the discussion of college and campuswide issues with college staff and faculty.

Transfer Students

In recognition of the wealth of diversity that transfer students bring to the community—in terms of culture and experience—Kresge is the home of the Transfer Center for campuswide transfer students regardless of college affiliation. This is a staffed facility where students can gather to relax, socialize, hold meetings, and obtain campus information and resource support in a central location. The resource center offers workshops, social evenings, and special events that are tailored to meet the needs of transfer students.

Kresge has provided a place for me, as a transfer student, where my questions and concerns have been addressed. As a Peer Adviser, it has become my commitment to work with the Kresge community to provide students with an environment where they can experience the richness of university life.

—Julie Taylor, Literature; Chancellor’s Undergraduate Internship Program

Kresge also offers special advising workshops and 2- and 3-credit courses designed to help transfers in the process of entering the university and moving forward in their careers from here.

Facilities

At the entrance to the college is the restful Piazetta with its “un-fountain.” Spinning off from the Piazetta are the Transfer Center, the Commuter Lounge, and a student lounge, equipped with television and VCR. In addition to the Transfer Center, as a unique facility on the campus, the Commuter Lounge is a place for off-campus students who want to use a kitchen, shower, or lockers while on campus. The Photo Lab Co-op is above the Piazetta and offers 24-hour accessibility to darkroom equipment. Adjacent to the nearby meadow are a racquetball court and an outdoor basketball court. The college includes a study center with soaring ceilings and walls of glass overlooking the forest, a computer lab equipped with PCs for student use, and a student-run Food Co-op, where organic produce is sold and working memberships are available. At the top of the college are the Town Hall performance facility, the Music Co-op, and a restaurant.

If people are looking for an atmosphere that is accepting to different personalities and mind frames, and want the independence to work with other students, Kresge offers that. Kresge really strives to have a community of people, but leaves space to assert your independence.

Oakes College

Oakes was founded in 1972 to provide high-quality education to students from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. Students, staff, and faculty associated with the college believe that learning takes place not only in the classroom but also in residential settings. For that reason, they work hard to create a multicultural community whose members strive together toward certain universal goals—including equal access to educational opportunity and freedom from oppression—while simultaneously affirming and celebrating some of the distinctive aspects of the different backgrounds from which they come.

Academic Emphases

Oakes faculty members represent a variety of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and physical and biological sciences. Since its founding, Oakes has made a special effort to provide academic programs and experiences for underrepresented groups, including women. These programs and experiences are enriched by the presence of core faculty from disciplines housed in the college: American studies, American literature, writing, world literature, and history of consciousness. Oakes graduates have gone on to successful careers in fields such as medicine, law, education, medical research, and community service.

The Oakes core course 80, Values and Change in a Diverse Society, is required of all first-year students. The course is writing intensive and examines individual and collective responses to issues of culture, gender, sexuality, race, and class. (See page 372 for a description of the course.) Those who are admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are permitted to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement.

Students at Oakes are challenged in many ways. Not only do they have the opportunity to live and work with people from different backgrounds, but they are also expected to demonstrate academic excellence in their chosen fields of study. To enable all students to succeed academically a variety of services are available:

• The Learning Center at Oakes College serves as a location for study groups as well as tutoring and advising programs. Special assistance in writing and tutoring in a variety of subjects is offered to Oakes students and EOP students.

• The Oakes Computer Lab provides access to 20 PC computers for Oakes students.

• Oakes 77: Exploring Opportunities for Social Justice Field Work provides students with the opportunity to work with a variety of community service organizations. All Oakes students are encouraged to contribute service to public agencies, schools, and community organizations in the city of Santa Cruz and in economically deprived areas of Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. Oakes students serve as tutors, teachers, mentors, and community builders. Academic credit is available through the Oakes 77 course.

• Student services at Oakes include academic advising and psychological counseling.

Oakes College, located on the west side of the UCSC campus, commands a sweeping view of Monterey Bay. Students may choose between apartment and residence hall living. The residence halls have lounges on each floor, attractive courtyards, and views of the ocean and the city of Santa Cruz. Students can also share an apartment-style living space, which includes a common living area and small kitchen. All students participate in a University Meal Plan. Residence halls are coed and provide space for students in double and single rooms. Restroom facilities for each gender are located on each floor.

Full-time coordinators for residential education and neighborhood assistants help residents develop cooperative ways of living together. As one student put it, “Oakes is a community where people of many different colors, backgrounds, interests, and goals form a friendly neighborhood. We share our cultures and adapt to the different lifestyles of our neighbors.” The residential program is designed to assist all students in integrating their academic and social needs. The residential staff hosts activities such as brunches, study breaks, and block dinners, each with a different theme and often reflecting the various cultures represented by Oakes students. Other events include College Night programs in the dining hall, celebrations of cultural traditions such as Kwanzaa and Dia de los Muertos, an annual Harvest Dinner for the Oakes community, a Valentine’s Day party, and a spring block party.

The college staff seeks to nurture and sustain a community in which mutual respect, understanding, and concern for others are the norm. Within that atmosphere of community expectations, students are also supported and encouraged to find room for their own creative personal expression.

The other physical facilities at Oakes further support the special programs of the college and provide recreational opportunities for the students. College facilities include the Learning Center; a multipurpose room for lectures, movies, and small theater productions; a college library; a dining facility shared with College Eight; TV lounges in the residences and adjacent to the Oaks Café; and a small basketball court, the “Underdome.” Additional recreational facilities located close to the college include tennis courts, a large soccer field, and an indoor basketball court.

A grant from the San Francisco Foundation—from Roscoe and Margaret Oakes Foundation funds—was used in partnership with public funds for the construction of Oakes. Part of the grant was used to establish an endowed fund for the college.

College Eight

The theme of College Eight—Environment and Society—is concern for social, political, scientific, and ethical issues, recognizing the essential interconnections among human beings and between humans and all other forms of life. College Eight faculty are drawn primarily from the Environmental Studies and Sociology Departments, but also include faculty from other disciplines, such as Biology, Computer Engineer-ing, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology.

The students who come to College Eight bring with them a wide variety of life, work, and educational experiences. They represent all the disciplines in their choices of major. They also represent a rich diversity of cultural backgrounds. A large number of transfer students attend College Eight and tend to have a clear sense of their educational and professional objectives. For first-year students, the college fosters an exciting, interdisciplinary intellectual atmosphere in which to explore their academic interests and potential. This mix of ages and backgrounds creates a refreshingly easy fellowship among faculty, staff, and students.

Academic Emphases

The College Eight core course 80, Environment and Society, examines different perspectives on environment and community in the contemporary world. (See page 164 for the course description.) Through a series of lectures, films, readings, and small-group discussions, the course provides an opportunity for first-year students to study issues of vital importance and to share their diverse backgrounds, cultural heritage, and points of view. The course, which is required of all first-year students, features guidance and practice in the critical reading and writing skills necessary for successful study at the university level. Those who are admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are permitted to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement.

College Eight students and faculty are encouraged to develop courses, conferences, and field projects. Internships and field studies offer an opportunity to link classroom theory with action in the community.

College Community and Facilities

College Eight is located on a sunny, terraced hillside on the west side of the UCSC campus, a site that offers a spectacular view of Monterey Bay and the coastline. The college is designed to encourage interaction among resident and commuter students, faculty, and staff. Outdoor spaces allow for relaxing and informal opportunities to converse and socialize; they include small residence hall patios, grass quadrangles, and a large plaza—the heart of the college—where pedestrian traffic converges. Adjacent to the college are recreational facilities including the West Field House, tennis courts, basketball and sand volleyball courts, and playing fields. The Theater Arts and Music Centers, McHenry Library, and Porter and Oakes Colleges are a short distance from the college.

College Eight’s facilities include an academic building that accommodates the college office, the Sociology Department and associated research centers, a computer lab with printers, classrooms, and faculty offices.

Approximately 450 students live in a community of two-and three-story residence halls with single, double, and triple rooms, and suites. The residence halls include designated study lounges, laundry facilities, and lobbies that serve as living rooms—favorite places where residents gather to relax, watch television, and catch up on the news of the day. Another 307 students are housed in College Eight’s two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, which are generally reserved for students at the sophomore level and above.

The college’s enthusiastic residential staff is composed of coordinators for residential education, who are full-time live-in professionals, along with undergraduate resident assistants. The residential staff plans a variety of educational and recreational events including community barbecues, outdoor movies, and a quarterly cultural festival celebrating the diversity of our community. More intimate gatherings include study breaks, coffee talks, brunches, and potlucks. The residential staff is available to ease the transition to college life, making the college a comfortable new home for our residents.

The Student Commons building contains the office of College Eight’s college programs coordinator and a large meeting room for student use. The study center is located across the plaza. The lively College Eight Café features a pool table and a quiet, comfortable corner with couches. The café is a favorite haven and gathering place for students, faculty, staff, and other members of the campus community.

The College Eight Student Programs Office, in conjunction with the student government and student organizations, plans social, multicultural, and educational events for the college community. Weekly Café Nights—featuring open mikes, music, art shows, and guest speakers—accommodate the diverse spectra of cultural and artistic interests of the students. College Night, a monthly cultural event, provides an opportunity for students to learn about a variety of cultures through entertainment and delicious cuisine. In addition, the College Eight Student Programs Office works closely with the Student Environmental Center to bring programs that educate and build long-lasting networks, which aim to address the environmental issues affecting our world today.

Above all, College Eight seeks to create a community of inclusion, in which each person is encouraged to share and explore beliefs, worldviews, values, and ideas in an atmosphere of mutual support and trust.

College Nine

At College Nine, we introduce students to our increasingly interconnected world. Students can learn about the impact of economic globalization. We also expect them to come to appreciate the diversity of cultural traditions.

—Campbell Leaper, College Nine Founding Provost

Academic Emphases

College Nine’s theme of International and Global Issues emphasizes the impact of our increasingly interconnected world. We consider how people around the world affect one another through global economies, education, mass media, jet travel, and computers. Some specific issues that our academic and cocurricular programs consider are economic and cultural globalization, immigration, ethnic conflicts, genocide, and human rights. Our programs seek to respect both diversity and unity in understanding individuals and societies. Students interested in these issues either as their major focus or as part of their general education are invited to join the College Nine community.

Writing Seminar

In the first-quarter frosh course, Introduction to University Discourse: International and Global Issues (see page 164), students examine current issues pertinent to the college’s intellectual theme. Topics address issues such as globalization, inequities in wealth and poverty across the world, human rights, and regional conflicts.

The seminar emphasizes the development of students’ writing skills. Being able to write well is a valuable asset for success in college and in most careers. Students write several reflective and analytical papers during the quarter. Each paper undergoes at least one revision after the student receives constructive feedback from the instructor. Thus, the instructors work closely with each student throughout the quarter.

All students who enter as frosh are required to pass the college writing seminar with a grade of C or better. Those who are admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are permitted to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement.

Global Action

In this workshop facilitated by peer instructors, students will learn about current international and global issues through interactive exercises, small group discussions and faculty presentations. Students will develop an “action plan” to raise awareness about one or more of these concerns and take practical steps to create positive change in the world.

Global Issues Colloquium Series

Through weekly presentations by leading experts, students learn about global challenges and also consider possible solutions. There is often an informal dinner following the presentation that allows for discussion with the speaker. Students have the option of taking this as a 1-credit class or of occasionally attending the presentations on a drop-in basis.

Special Academic Programs

Optional programs are available to involve College Nine students in academic and cocurricular activities beyond the first-quarter course. They are designed to promote students’ academic achievement and success by connecting them with faculty mentors and helping them pursue leadership experiences in particular contexts.

Service Learning

Students can extend their learning beyond the classroom by getting practical experience and course credit working as an intern for a community or business organization. This type of practical experience is known as service learning or field study. Examples include assisting in a classroom or at a homeless shelter. College Nine has its own service-learning program. The service-learning supervisor guides the student at the practicum site and helps the student develop a reading list and paper topic related to the placement.

Students as Teachers and Mentors

College Nine students have special opportunities to become course assistants, tutors, and student mentors for course credit. Students gain independent experience as teachers leading their own discussion sections of a College Nine course. They receive close supervision that emphasizes a collaborative approach to developing and enhancing teaching, communication, and leadership skills. The College Nine academic advisers can also direct students to other opportunities for student-teaching and peer-mentoring programs on campus. These are excellent opportunities to work closely with a faculty member and to develop one’s own skills as a teacher and a leader.

Global Information Internship Program

The Global Information Internship Program (GIIP) places highly motivated students in internships with nongovernmental organizations and community groups. Students in GIIP help these organizations and groups in the use of Internet-based information and communications technologies. Interns acquire leadership and organizational skills through the “learning-by-doing” method. For more information, see page 42 and visit the web site at www2.ucsc.edu/giip.

Practical Activism: Lessons in Local and Global Change

This annual one-day conference focuses on international social justice concerns in the local context. Students gain valuable leadership skills in developing and implementing this exceptional program, which involves collaboration among faculty, staff, and the local community.

Education Abroad

The UC Education Abroad Program (see page 40) places students at a university in another country for one or more quarters. Studying abroad can be a valuable way to expand one’s understanding of the world. Given the international focus at College Nine, students are encouraged (but not required) to develop a
second language or to study abroad.

Research Opportunities

The faculty at UC Santa Cruz are ranked high in their quality of research. College Nine students are encouraged to take advantage of the many excellent opportunities available to work closely with faculty as research apprentices. Students will find many internship, independent study, or senior thesis programs in the departments of most majors. The College Nine academic advisers will help link students with these programs.

College Nine Scholars Program

Eligible College Nine frosh may apply to the Scholars Program. This may include enrolling in an honors section of the frosh writing seminar in the fall quarter, the 2-credit workshop in the winter, and a special seminar with a social sciences faculty member in the spring.

College Nine Pathways to Distinction

Another feature of College Nine is that qualified students may graduate with College Nine Distinction. This recognition is intended to serve as an incentive for students to pursue activities that are especially apt to help them succeed in college and beyond. Two pathways are possible:

Research and scholarship. In this pathway, students pursue research with faculty by completing three quarters (15 credits) of work on a senior thesis or a research internship. Students may be recognized with College Nine Distinc-tion if they do a thesis or a research internship in their major on a topic related to international or global issues.

Language and culture. Students who enroll in at least three quarters (15 credits) in either Education Abroad or a foreign language (or a combination) may qualify for College Nine Distinction.

College Community and Facilities

Founded in fall 2000, College Nine is one of the newest colleges at UCSC. Consistent with UCSC’s founding vision, College Nine creates an integrated living and learning environment through engaging academic and extracurricular programs focusing on the theme of International and Global Perspectives. Students and staff collaborate to develop an array of programs exploring the many aspects of the college’s theme. Some of the programs include faculty presentations, guest speakers, debates, films, arts events, and interactive workshops. These programs bring together members of our community to learn, debate, and challenge ourselves about important issues facing us today in an atmosphere of mutual respect and engagement.

College Nights

Each month, the college community comes together to plan a College Night, which is a large-scale community celebration held in the dining commons and open to all College Nine students whether or not they live on campus. These events are planned by students and focus on particular regions of the world. College Nights include food, entertainment, and educational materials related to the theme. Some past College Nights have been Winter Holidays from Around the World, Carnival, and Asian Traditions.

International Living Center

The International Living Center (ILC) at College Nine offers a unique living environment fostering understanding, cooperation, and friendship among upper-division students from different nations, cultures, and backgrounds. Half of the residents are students from the United States, and the other half are students from various countries around the world. Students reside in the College Nine Apartments.

Cocurricular Programs and Opportunities

Getting involved in cocurricular activities is a predictor of college success. Not only do college activities help students make friends, they foster leadership and group cooperation skills. There are many opportunities at College Nine for student involvement. These include the following groups as well as many other programs, activities, and clubs.

Fall Leadership Institute

Student leadership and involvement are key to successfully building the new College Nine community. The Fall Leadership Institute offers students the opportunity to develop leadership skills and to develop efficacy as world citizens and leaders at College Nine. The institute meets weekly throughout fall quarter, providing a wide range of exercises, guest speakers, discussions, and debates.

Student Government

Student Government represents the students in the college. It appoints students to campus and college committees, consults with college administration on policy development, and provides monetary support to student organizations.

CREATE

CREATE (Cultural Resources to Educate and to Empower) offers a community at College Nine for students of color to find support and empowerment through mentorship and friendship.

PHAT

PHAT (Programming House Activities Team) is a planning committee for the apartment residents who are interested in getting people out of their rooms and into their communities. Programs include the annual Haunted House and the Battle of the Buildings.

WATER

WATER (White Allies To End Racism) tackles issues of diversity and racism through the exploration of white racial identity. The group provides a safe and open space for dialogue and the opportunity to work with students of color groups on collaborative action projects.

Rainbow Club

The Rainbow Club provides opportunities for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning students and their allies to join together for self-awareness and social activities in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Alternative Spring Break

Students may apply to this program, in which participants spend part of their spring break in Mexico building a house and helping in
the community.

Intercultural Communication Retreat

This two-day retreat provides international and American students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to explore various components of intercultural communication. Through a series of structured exercises and small-group discussions, students share perspectives on issues such as multiculturalism, values orientation, and diversity. The goal of the workshop is to build community and friendship among international and American students as well as to increase students’ understanding of the complexity of communicating across cultures. The Intercultural Communication Retreat is optional; students apply for this opportunity in the fall.

Physical Surroundings

College Nine is situated in a redwood grove next to the Social Sciences 1 and 2 Buildings near the heart of campus. One of the campus’s Instructional Computing Labs is conveniently located in the Social Sciences 2 Building.

A nature preserve serves as College Nine’s “backyard.” College Nine students have immediate access to hiking, running, and mountain bike trails in the adjacent forest.

Residence halls with 400 single and double bedrooms opened in fall 2002. These fully furnished residence halls include student lounges, recreational spaces, and Internet connections. In addition, a state-of-the-art dining hall with an adjoining game room and student lounge for both Colleges Nine and Ten opened in fall 2002.

Colleges Nine and Ten also house approximately 300 upper-division students in apartments, with 190 students in single bedrooms and the balance in double and triple rooms. All apartments have full kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and Internet connections. Ground-floor apartments have decks, and most upper apartments have private balconies.

College Ten

Our goal at College Ten is to foster students’ concerns for social justice and their respect for diversity. This appreciation develops through both understanding and practice. Students can study the roots of social problems such as prejudice, ethnic hatreds, poverty, and political oppression. Another form of learning can occur through involvement in community organizations and other agencies. In these ways, we hope our students can contribute to the makings of a better world.

—Campbell Leaper, College Ten Founding Provost

Academic Emphases

College Ten’s theme of Social Justice and Community addresses a range of social problems and their impact on all members of society. In particular, the academic and cocurricular programs consider the injustices that many people confront in their lives. Possible community and governmental policies for addressing social, political, and economic inequalities are also examined. In addition, the college provides students with opportunities to make their own positive contributions to social change through community involvement or scholarly research.

The college curriculum will explore the causes and consequences of social injustice in several ways. Students will examine the roots of prejudice, discrimination, and violence directed toward groups based on their ethnicity, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or political views. They will also consider the causes and consequences of poverty both within the United States and across the world.

Writing Seminar

In the first-quarter frosh course, Introduction to University Discourse, Social Justice and Community (see page 165), students examine current issues pertinent to the college’s intellectual theme. Topics address issues such as poverty, discrimination, and economic injustice. Ways that communities, governments, and businesses can address inequities in society are also examined.

The seminar emphasizes the development of students’ writing, reading, and speaking skills. Being able to write well is a valuable asset for success in college and later in most careers. Students write several reflective and analytical papers during the quarter. Each paper undergoes at least one revision after the student receives constructive feedback from the instructor. Thus, the instructors work closely with each student throughout the quarter.

All students who enter as frosh are required to pass the college writing seminar with a grade of C or better. Those who are admitted as transfer students are exempt from the core course requirement but may take the core course at their option pending available space; lower-division transfer students who, prior to enrolling, have not completed at least one UC-transferable college English composition course with a minimum grade of C (2.0) or better are permitted to take the core course to satisfy the C1 requirement.

Special Academic Programs

Optional programs are available to involve College Ten students in academic and cocurricular activities beyond the first-quarter core course. They are designed to promote students’ academic achievement and success by connecting them with faculty mentors and helping them pursue leadership experiences in particular contexts.

Social Justice Issues Workshop

College Ten students have the option of enrolling in the Social Justice Issues Workshop in winter quarter. This 2-credit course meets once per week and can be taken in addition to a regular 15-credit academic load. The workshop offers a small, dynamic learning community in which members explore important issues of personal and cultural identity; social, political, and environmental concerns; and community-mindedness. The class emphasizes small-group experiential learning through structured exercises and group activities, and also includes discussions, film presentations, and guest speakers. The course is offered to both first-year and upper-division students.

Service Learning

Students can extend their learning beyond the classroom by volunteering for a local nonprofit or school in the community for credit. This type of hands-on experience is known as service learning or field study. Examples include assisting in a classroom or at a homeless shelter. College Ten has its own service-learning program. The service-learning supervisor teaches a class, Esprit de Corps, in which students meet weekly to reflect upon their experiences, discuss readings, and listen to speakers from the community. To culminate the service experience, students develop a final project related to civic engagement. Other service-learning opportunities include Praxis, a service-learning organization, and a service-learning trip to Mexico for alternative spring break.

Practical Activism: Lessons in Local and Global Change

This annual one-day conference focuses on international social justice concerns in the local context. Students gain valuable leadership skills in developing and implementing this exceptional program, which involves collaboration among faculty, staff, and the local community.

Students as Teachers and Mentors

College Ten students have special opportunities to become course assistants, tutors, and student mentors for course credit. Students gain independent experience as teachers leading their own discussion sections of a College Ten course. They receive close supervision that emphasizes a collaborative approach to developing and enhancing teaching, communication, and leadership skills. The College Ten academic advisers can also direct students to other opportunities for student-teaching and peer-mentoring programs on campus. These are excellent opportunities to work closely with a faculty member and to develop one’s own skills as a teacher and a leader.

Research Opportunities

The UC Santa Cruz faculty are ranked high in their quality of research. College Ten students are encouraged to take advantage of the many excellent opportunities available to work closely with faculty as research apprentices. Students will find many internship, independent study, or senior thesis programs in the departments of most majors. The College Ten academic advisers will help link students with these programs.

College Ten Scholars Program

Eligible College Ten frosh may apply to the Scholars Program. This may include enrolling in an honors section of the frosh writing seminar in the fall, the 2-credit workshop in the winter, and a special seminar with a social sciences faculty member in the spring.

College Ten Pathways to Distinction

Another feature of College Ten is that qualified students may graduate with College Ten Distinction. This recognition is intended to serve as an incentive for students to pursue activities that are especially apt to help them succeed in college and beyond. Two pathways are possible:

Research and scholarship. In the first pathway, students are encouraged to pursue research opportunities with faculty by completing three quarters (15 credits) of work on a senior thesis or a research internship. Students may be recognized with College Ten Distinction if they do a thesis or a research internship in their major on a topic related to the theme of social justice and community.

Service and leadership. The second route to graduating with College Ten Distinction is through completing three quarters (15 credits) of service-learning internships, teaching, or other forms of community service.

College Community and Facilities

Founded in fall 2002, College Ten is the newest college at UCSC. Consistent with UCSC’s founding vision, College Ten creates an integrated living-and-learning environment through engaging academic and extracurricular programs focusing on the theme of Social Justice and Community. Students and staff collaborate to develop an array of programs exploring the many aspects of social justice. Some of the programs include faculty presentations, guest speakers, debates, films, arts events, and interactive workshops. These programs bring together members of our community to learn, debate, and challenge ourselves about important issues facing us today in an atmosphere of mutual respect and engagement.

College Nights

Every quarter, students and staff work together to plan College Nights, which are large-scale community celebrations held in the dining commons and open to all College Ten students whether or not they live on campus. College Nights include food, entertainment, and educational materials related to a theme.

There are many opportunities at College Ten for student involvement. These include the following groups as well as many other programs, activities, and clubs.

CREATE

The purpose of CREATE (Cultural Resources to Educate and to Empower) is to facilitate the ongoing discussion of diversity issues at College Ten and in our living communities, learn about and promote multiculturalism, plan activities, and help students and staff have a resource for inclusiveness and training.

ENGAGE

ENGAGE (Explore New Growth and Gain Experience) offers students the opportunity to explore and develop their own beliefs, values, and feelings about current issues and social concerns through a wide range of exercises, guest speakers, discussions, and debates. Participants develop leadership skills and increase their efficacy as world citizens and leaders at College Ten. ENGAGE meets weekly throughout fall quarter.

PHAT

PHAT (Programming House Activities Team) is a planning committee for the apartment residents who are interested in getting people out of their rooms and into their communities. Programs include the annual Haunted House, the Battle of the Buildings, and Freestyle Fridays.

WATER

WATER (White Allies To End Racism) tackles issues of diversity and racism through the exploration of white racial identity. The group provides a safe and open space for dialogue and the opportunity to work with students of color groups on collaborative action projects.

Rainbow Club

The Rainbow Club provides opportunities for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning students and their allies to join together for self-awareness and social activities in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Alternative Spring Break

Students may apply to this program, in which participants spend part of their spring break in Mexico building a house and helping in the community.

Multicultural Community Weekend

This two-day retreat provides students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to explore various components of multicultural communication. Through a series of structured exercises and small-group discussions, students share perspectives on issues such as multiculturalism, values orientation, and diversity. The goal of the workshop is to build community and friendship among students as well as to increase students’ understanding of the complexity of communicating across diverse backgrounds. The Multicultural Community Weekend is optional; students apply for this opportunity in the fall.

Café Revolución

Located at College Ten, Café Revolución is a favorite gathering place. It is open nightly for social justice performances, music, and social interaction.

Physical Surroundings

College Ten is situated in a redwood grove next to the Social Sciences 1 and 2 Buildings near the heart of campus. One of the campus’s Instructional Computing Labs is conveniently located in Social Sciences 2.

A nature preserve serves as College Ten’s “backyard.” College Ten students have immediate access to hiking, running, and mountain bike trails in the adjacent forest.

Residence halls with 400 single and double bedrooms opened in fall 2002. These fully furnished residence halls include student lounges, recreational spaces, and Internet connections. In addition, a state-of-the-art dining hall with an adjoining game room and student lounge for both Colleges Nine and Ten opened in fall 2002.

Colleges Ten and Nine also house approximately 300 upper-division students in apartments, with 190 students in single bedrooms and the balance in double and triple rooms. All apartments have full kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and Internet connections. Ground-floor apartments have decks, and most upper apartments have private balconies.
