Deans' & Chancellor's Awards 2020-2021
The Deans’ and Chancellor’s Awards encourage and stimulate outstanding scholarship and creativity among undergraduate students, based on work developed in courses or programs in the normal pattern of 2020-2021 academic activity at UC Santa Cruz.
Ten undergraduate projects from the Humanities Division received a Deans’ Award, and three of those projects were also selected for Chancellor's awards. Congratulations to our awardees and their projects!
