UCSC Review Winter 1997

Announcing a commencement program archive

It sits in a dusty box at the back of the closet or shivers on a cobweb-covered shelf in the garage. It's your commencement program, the brochure or booklet that lists your name and the names of those who graduated with you, describes the commencement speaker whose words of wisdom or folly sent you into the world beyond UCSC, and gives other information from your graduation day.

The Alumni Association is building a commencement program archive. All alumni are invited to participate by donating original copies of these documents. The association's goal is to create a complete archive, including original commencement programs from the colleges, Graduate Studies, and African American, Chicano-Latino, and Native American graduation celebrations, as well as programs from chancellors' inaugurations and other historic campus events.

Programs may be sent to the Alumni Office at the Carriage House, UCSC, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064-1077. For more information, call (408) 459-2530 (locally) or (800) 933-slug.
