Mission

In July 2022, Community Connections -- a new friends group -- formed when the former UCSC Women's Club merged with the former Affiliates.

The former UCSC Women’s Club was open to all adults in the campus and town communities. Its purpose was to be of service to the university, to foster friendship between town and gown, and to encourage understanding and support for the mission and functions of the university. A special goal of the club was to raise money for scholarships for UCSC re-entry students.
