  • Students Lopez and Garcia Receive Big Scholarship Boost for UC Plans
    Nov. 9, 2018 April 26, 2019 Students Lopez and Garcia receive big scholarship boost for UC plans It was my privilege over the past week to share life-changing scholarship news with two outstanding members of Hartnell’s Class of 2019 – Maria Yeni Lopez Escobar and Bobbie Joe Garcia, both of whom received two-year $20,000 scholarships. Lopez, a native of El Salvador and a 2016 graduate of Salinas High School, learned April 25 that she will receive the Karl S. Pister Leadership Opportunity Award to attend the University of California, Santa Cruz. She plans to study psychology. The Pister scholarship goes to students who have overcome adverse socioeconomic circumstances, have a demonstrated commitment to assisting and improving the lives of others, and have financial aid eligibility. Lopez, who said she’s especially appreciative of help she has received through the Academy for College Excellence program at Hartnell, aspires to become a counselor. “I would like to be the person who helps others, in return for the help I received,” she said. On April 29, I was again joined by colleagues to share a scholarship announcement with Bobbie Joe Garcia, the 2016 valedictorian at Greenfield High School. Garcia will use her two-year, $20,000 scholarship from the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation at either UC Berkeley or UC Santa Cruz, both of which have accepted her for admission. page 1 In addition to her studies, Garcia has worked on campus as a Supplemental Instruction Leader and as an intern working with Hartnell and Stanford University students on the Salinas History Project, as well as for MILPA, a leadership and infrastructure development organization in Salinas.

  • 2016-2017 Academic Year 02
    CELEBRATING THE HUMANITIES 2016-2017 Academic Year 02 LETTER FROM THE DEAN TYLER STOVALL 2016-2017 will be a year for the books. We’ve seen a bitterly fought presidential campaign followed by some of the largest demonstrations in American history and continued mobilization on both sides of the political spectrum. Mother Nature has also been in a feisty mood, bringing one of the rainiest winters in recent memory to Northern California. These various kinds of Sturm und Drang have challenged and motivated members of the Humanities at UC Santa Cruz, illustrating the importance of our perspectives on the various cultural and political crises of the day. Through the noise of the national rhetoric, we recognize our responsibility and role: We present facts, not just as stand-alone claims, but also in the context of a greater worldview. We tell stories, not only for the pure satisfaction of a beautiful narrative, but because we recognize the importance of preserving truth and adding perspective. We think deeply about how things should be done, rather than simply accepting the status quo. We challenge convention when it prevents equity and progress. The Humanities—the study of literature, history, philosophy, language, and more—is critically important in today’s global society. Here at UC Santa Cruz, we are committed to excellence in research, scholarship, and teaching students from across all disciplines. I am happy to report that it has been a successful year for the Division. Along with the Graduate Division, we received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to explore career preparation for humanities Ph.D.
