Join us in celebrating the natural world of Santa Cruz with your UCSC naturalist community! 

The Natural History Symposium will feature undergrad presentations, a keynote speaker and a musical performance!

We will be supporting our students' professional development as naturalists, educators, and researchers by showcasing their work to the local naturalist community. 

The symposium will also feature renowned local naturalist, Christian Schwarz, as keynote speaker, and a special musical guest, folk singer and UCSC alum, Alisa Fineman!

Admission is free! If you are coming for dinner, please RSVP and bring $5 for students, and $10 for community members.
