On November 3, 2021 UC Santa Cruz hosted its sixth annual Giving Day campaign, a 24-hour online fundraising event.
Sociology@UCSantaCruz raised money to support our students and their continued work in challenging dominant norms and structures through established scholarships.
Together, we raised $1556! We could not have done this without YOU! Thank you, for your commitment to UC Santa Cruz and public sociology!
Thank you to everyone who made contributions and for spreading the word to your networks.
