While Oakes College may be situated on the outskirts of the UC Santa Cruz campus, it continues to serve as a center for both a source of support and place of community for underserved and underrepresented students. A discussion held on April 27 during Alumni Weekend events reminded staff, faculty, students and alumni why the legacy of Oakes continues to live on at UC Santa Cruz.

Members of AFSCME Local 3299, UCSC’s Skilled Crafts Bargaining Unit, demonstrated on April 28, to call attention to contract disputes and negotiations with the University.
