The role of the College Programs Office and the programming staff is to foster a sense of community for the students, staff and faculty of Kresge through educational and social programming. All Kresge affiliates are supported by the College Programs Office which is located in Kresge Building K, rooms 208 and 207. We are your link to Kresge Parliament, Orientation, Family Day, and our Kresge College Commencement.
Throughout the academic year, we will be providing a wide variety of activities. Additionally, the Programs Office works in partnership and co-sponsorship with student organizations and other campus units to bring exciting events to the Kresge Community. As a Kresge student, if you have an idea for a great community event, the Programs Office staff is always here to help you with planning and production.
The Program Office staff includes the College Programs Coordinator (CPC), Assistant College Programs Coordinator (ACPC), up to four student Programs Assistants (PA) and up to 10 student Orientation Welcome Leaders (OWL) who assist with fall Welcome Week, graduation and other large college activities.
On behalf of myself and the entire College Programming Staff, welcome to the Kresge Community! We hope to see you soon around Kresge.

María Dolores CastilloCollege Programs CoordinatorContact: (831) 459-4434, madocast@ucsc.edu Being a UCSC Alum (c/o 2022), I am grateful to have been able to work alongside students while having been a student myself and now a staff member. Students hold so much strength, love, passion, and creativity and it is something that will always keep motivating me! As the College Programs Coordinator, I oversee all the events hosted at Kresge College and supervise our wonderful Assistant College Programs Coordinator, incredibly talented Program Assistants, and our amazing Kresge Parliament. Our events are centered around community building, identity, social justice, and curiosity. In collaboration with other hard working college communities and campus organizations, we have been able to achieve successful events for our students. If you are interested in collaborating or have an event idea, do not hesitate to reach out to me! ❤️✨ |
