Interest Groups

Affinity groups are formed by alumni who wish to connect with others based on some common experience. Join other alumni in enriching the community and academic experience for current students. Affinity groups include Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) Black Escargot (African-American), Latino Alumni Network, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender & Intersex (GLBTI) and the Page & Eloise Smith Scholastic Society (for the benefit of students who are orphans, foster children and wards of the the court.)


Alumni Council

Serving on the Alumni Council is one of the ways you can advance the interests and promote the welfare of the university. The governing body of the Alumni Association is the Alumni Association Council. The council is composed of thirty members. Twenty-four are graduates of UCSC and are elected.

Admissions Outreach

Alumni volunteers attend high school and community college events as representatives of UCSC to share their experience as former students with prospective students.

In the spring the Alumni Association assists the Admissions Office in "yield events" where newly admitted students can talk with alumni before deciding whether or not to enroll at UC Santa Cruz.

Please, click here to sign up or for more information contact the Office of Admissions at (831) 459-4008 or via email at admissions@ucsc.edu.

Regional Networks

In locations around the country, UCSC alumni and friends periodically get together to enjoy each other's company, network, listen to faculty speakers, go to theater performances, wine tastings, parties, educational outings, and a host of other activities.

You can volunteer to help plan events in your area, or just join the fun! Click here for more information.
