Student-led Campus Tour
Location: Departs from Humanities Lecture Hall
Join us for this small-group, interactive experience! Visit iconic UCSC locations such as Quarry Plaza, Science Hill, Kresge College, and the Porter Squiggle (hint: have your phone ready to take selfies!) You will be walking around the campus in your group, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. Also, the beautiful weather in Santa Cruz ranges from cool and foggy to sunny and warm in a single day, so we recommend that you dress in layers.
BBQ with Sammy the Slug
Location: Oakes Lower Lawn
After working up an appetite on your Student-led Tour, it will be time to sit, relax, and enjoy a barbecue lunch on us! Hosted roundtables will facilitate everyone’s getting to know each other, and we will be offering a variety of tasty lunch options.
