SUMMARY:It Takes an Ecosystem: Staff and Faculty Perspectives on Collaboration at UC Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:Funded through a Department of Education Title V grant\, a team at UC Santa Cruz launched CULTURA (Centering Undergraduate Latine Thriving with University Racial-Equity Action) in 2024 as a bold\, campus-wide effort to reimagine how we can collectively advance student success and equity. At its core\, CULTURA asks: What becomes possible when we intentionally invest in and connect the people\, relationships\, and infrastructures already engaged in transformative work? \nDifferent from past Title V HSI grants\, which have rigorously tested and sustained single interventions\, CULTURA embraces an ecosystem approach. This approach recognizes that meaningful\, sustained change depends on the investment in and coordination of those leading equity work every day: campus staff and faculty. The HSI Equity Talk centers their voices. \nIn June 2025\, we launched the HSI CULTURA Staff and Faculty Survey\, a collaborative effort* designed to surface insights from staff and faculty respondents. The survey explored key dimensions of the ecosystem: coordination among campus units\, support (or lack thereof) available to equity-focused leaders\, and collective and institutional capacity to collaborate\, adapt\, and transform campus culture. \nIn this interactive session\, facilitators will share key survey findings as an invitation to collective sense-making. Together\, we will discuss: What resonates? What is missing? How do these findings reflect or challenge your own experiences? How can we mobilize this collective knowledge to strengthen and coordinate our shared efforts toward student success and equity\, especially amid severe financial constraints? Join us as we aim to deepen our coordination\, elevate the voices of those leading change\, and build a more connected ecosystem for student success and equity. \nPlease register to receive a calendar invitation and Zoom details. \n  \nYou Belong Here: The programs and services described here are open to all\, consistent with state and federal law\, as well as the University of California’s nondiscrimination policies. Every initiative—whether a student service\, faculty program\, or community event—is designed to be accessible\, inclusive\, and respectful of all identities. \nTo learn more\, please visit UC Nondiscrimination Statement or Nondiscrimination Policy for UC Publications.
