Spring 2021
Greetings!

Welcome to Spring 2021! As we enter into one of the last quarters of the academic year, we would like to thank you for letting us continue to be a part of your journey here at UC San Diego. We hope that you are able to connect with us. We recognize that this quarter and year continues to unfold and we continue to navigate through this pandemic together. Additionally, we recognize that our communities are undergoing added stressors from national and worldwide events. Please take some time to stay connected whether it is family, friends, SSCP, CAPS, or a UC San Diego campus resource.
