With all the trees and meadows and banana slugs and whatnot, it's sometimes hard to remember that UC Santa Cruz has nearly 20,000 students roaming about. It's just kinda quiet out there. Put on the pandemic, though, and it's even quieter. The students are gone, but how are they doing? And what is life like for them when they are here, if they are members of a group that comprises just 1% of the entire student population? In this episode we speak with Dr. Rebecca Hernandez, Director the UC Santa Cruz American Indian Resource Center, to hear about the AIRC, its students, and how we can increase our sensitivity to what it's like to be Native American at UC Santa Cruz.

Thank you to Dr. Hernandez!
