Why CRES?

Kash Mejia, a CRES and Global and Community Health double major, said that CRES’s strong focus on solidarity and resistance drew him to UC Santa Cruz.
“CRES is one of the biggest reasons why I decided to attend UC Santa Cruz,” Kash said. “For students of color, the time spent at a university is often a period of deep self-discovery—learning more about their own identities and becoming more aware of the systems of oppression that impact them.”
