Lois Rosson’s (History & Art) talents and scholarship achieve recognition from both the popular media and academics. She was featured on the Santa Cruz Styles Spring Edition for her work as a DJ, Program Director, and host of her own weekly show at KZSC, UCSC's on-campus radio station. In addition, she was selected for a UCSC Chancellor's Award for her art work. Read more about the unique interaction of radio, art, research in her life.
STEM Career-Life Balance Resource Center
Career-Life Balance (CLB) is the idea that family and career are compatible pursuits. The CLB Resource Center aims to increase participation in STEM careers by raising awareness of the successful coexistence of STEM career and family, and by providing the tools to plan for both.
Academic Support & STEM Diversity
UCSC has many academic support programs to help you achieve academic excellence and your professional goals. Specific programs, including those in STEM Diversity, work to increase the presence of under-represented groups in the Sciences and Engineering.
