Support the Community Studies Department

Home Giving to Social Sciences at UC Santa Cruz Support Support the Community Studies Department

Your gift makes a difference by providing scholarships for our undergraduate and graduate students, funding for student research and field studies, and opportunities for students to attend scholarly conferences. Our fundraising priorities in the Community Studies Department are:

Community Studies Department Unrestricted Gift Fund

Unrestricted donations give the department flexibility to pursue promising opportunities and meet pressing needs. Your contribution to the Community Studies Unrestricted Gift Fund will support students' field study internships, senior projects, and social change work.

Master's in Social Documentation Program

This new master's program will teach students to translate academic knowledge into visual, audio, and print media that will have an impact on the world outside academia. Special features of the program include its focus on the study of "ordinary life" and its emphasis on training students to produce original social analysis in broadly effective modes of presentation. For more information see our graduate section.
