Thanks to your kindness and generosity, the School of Social Sciences surpassed its fundraising goal October 30! Mark your calendars for Monday, November 18 when you can expect to see Captain Kirk, Spock, Gowron (Chancellor of the Klingon Empire), and others from the Star Trek crew on campus.

We would love for anyone who is interested to join in the fun and dress up for the day. While the Starship crew will be Trekked-out for the whole day, we’re
doing a walk around Social Science Plaza at 11:45 a.m. to show off our school pride in reaching our promise. We’re also holding a reception in the SBSG
lobby from noon-1:30 p.m. on the 18th where social sciences students, faculty and staff can come sign our massively over-sized communicator badge and pledge to do something to help others live long and prosper in 2014.

Trekkies unite! The School of Social Sciences is challenging its networks to raise money for student scholarships as part of the UC-wide Promise for Education Initiative. Should your donations to this particular promise travel at warp speed to the collective tune of $5,000, the social sciences senior staff will transport themselves into your favorite characters from Star Trek for a day. No cloaking devices permitted; staff - including dean Maurer and associate deans Petracca and Saberi - will attend all meetings as Captain Kirk, Spock and the rest of the Star Trek crew. As a bonus, if more than $5,000 is raised, the entire social sciences staff will be encouraged to be part of the Klingon army.
