UCSC strives to embrace diversity in all its forms; it strives to be an inclusive community that fosters an open, enlightened & productive environment.

University of California, Santa Cruz, (UCSC) has earned international recognition for the impact of its research and the quality of its teaching, as well as for being a student-centered learning environment where undergraduates have the chance to work closely with distinguished faculty. Current enrollment at UCSC is over 17,000 students (approximately 15,600 undergraduates and 1,500 graduate students). Undergraduates pursue course work in 55 majors and graduate students work toward doctoral degrees in 32 programs across the arts, humanities, engineering, social sciences, and physical and biological sciences as well as toward master's degrees and graduate certificates in 25 academic fields.

The Office of the Chancellor is the lead administrative office overseeing all areas of UCSC, providing leadership in the execution of the mission, vision and strategic plans for the campus. As representatives of the Office of the Chancellor, all members of the Chancellor's immediate staff are expected to model the UCSC Principles of Community in their interactions with senior leaders, faculty, students and staff at all levels of the organization, with colleagues throughout the UC system and in their interactions with agencies, organizations and individuals outside of the UC system.
