EMERITI LECTURES

The UCSC Emeriti Association also sponsors, with support from the Chancellor, occasional community-wide lectures by one of the distinguished Emeritus Professors from our group. Lectures are intended for the whole community—students, faculty, staff and townspeople. See past lectures. Videos.

NEWSLETTERS

Starting July 2018, the UCSCEA began publishing a quarterly newsletter covering coming events, news of interest to Emeriti, and Emeriti contributed articles that are interesting and include the human side of being an Emeriti. The newsletters are available in the newsletter section of this website. They are designed to be read on a computer so one can follow links to other media, not to be printed.
