Spring 2016

Do not fear change

You may be noticing some big changes to your alumni magazine. But don’t fear! It’s an effort to shift the magazine—formerly known as UC Santa Cruz Review—toward shining a light on important issues and effectively delivering valuable news and information.

Some of the changes you’ll see in this issue and going forward include:

• The name: Now simply called UC Santa Cruz Magazine. And with a new name comes a new online experience at magazine.ucsc.edu.
• 1 More Thing: A new column serving as a lively endnote to each issue, featuring diverse expressions, perspectives, and authors. Chancellor George Blumenthal kicks it off for us.
• Alumni Notes is now exclusively online.
• Exciting new online-only features such as Pop-Up, a series about alumni food and drink. We start with alumni breweries—cheers!
