GIIP Fellow Katie Roper Profiled in Currents
Overcoming obstacles and pursuing her dreams are two of the
life skills Katie Roper says she acquired at UCSC, where several
professors encouraged her to take a hands-on approach to her education.
Roper had always wanted to work in Africa, and with the support of faculty mentors, she arranged two separate internships in Kenya, where she produced documentary films about environmental sustainability.
GIIP Illuminates Ways of Productive Activism
This was the booming question that guest speaker Alan Richards posed for students at his lecture Tuesday, Dec. 4 titled, “Today’s Youth, and Global Crises in Justice and Nature.”
The seminar was the beginning of the Colloquium Series for the Global Information Internship Program (GIIP), a student-run program that focuses on youth activism involving an array of national and international issues.

TechCamp Video
TechCamp: Technology Essentials was a co-creation of the Global Information Internship Program (http://giip.ucsc.edu) and the Progressive Technology Project (http://progressivetech.org). TechCamp was held twice this summer in St Paul, MN and Santa Cruz, CA. We saw 80+ community organizers for all of the US and had a great deal of fun learning about technology can be used by community-led organizers.
