History (Europe and the Mediterranean World), Jewish Studies
Recipient of the 2021-22 Elaine Sullivan Scholarship

My name is Sage Michaels, and I am a 4th-year Intensive History Major and a Jewish Studies Minor. During my time at UCSC, I have been involved with the Okinawa Memories Initiative, and this past year I have been the student leader for their archival and oral history teams. I added my Jewish Studies Minor in my junior year, and this year I have served as the intern for the Center for Jewish Studies. Every time a student tells me they decided to add a Jewish Studies Major or Minor, it means so much to me because I know they are going to get so much more of their UCSC experience by being a part of the Jewish Studies program.
