  • I've had the privilege of working with student organizations for over 25 years, first as an active student, then as a staff advisor for organizations, and now as the Director of SOAR. Students amaze and inspire me each year with their energy, insight, and hope for the future.

  • My name is Adrian H.Dorris. I am Zuni Pueblo and Chicano mestizo, born and raised in San Diego, California. As a Native American/Chicano alumnus of UCSC, I bring with me a healthy critique of this institution as well as a deep-rooted appreciation for the unforgettable experiences I had at UCSC and the incredible people with whom I shared them. I came back because of my commitment to building healthy, vibrant, thoughtful and inspirational communities at UCSC and beyond.

    "Inits most natural dimension, all true education is transformative and Nature centered." - Gregory Cajete, from 'Look to the Mountain: An Ecology of Indigenous Education'

    "People who have experienced a lot of groups, who perhaps have observed their own behaviour, may agree that the hardest thing in the world is to stand out against one's group, a group of one's peers." - Doris Lessing, from 'Prisons We Choose To Live Inside'

I was born in California
Went to school in Portland Oregon
Climbed the tallest peak in Africa
Swam with seals in the deepest lake in the world
Spent a winter in Saint Petersburg
And dodged a bullet in Bosnia just after the war…
and working with SOAR, Student Media and Cultural Arts & Diversity
still gets my blood pumping every day!
What does that tell ya!?

As a UCSC alumna, it’s been an honor—and a great pleasure—to return to campus and work with the extraordinary and dedicated students in Student Media. Before I came back to the university in 2005, I spent 20 years as an editor and writer for magazines, multimedia and the technical world.

There was a young man known as Phil,

who was born in Massachusetts cold chill.
He then moved to the west,
and discovered that California is best,
which is why he lives out there still.
Film, frisbee, and surfing are just a few of his passions,
he also enjoys eating mexican food in much-too-large rations.
He studied for years, and became a UCSC alum,
to work with our students, because Slugs have more fun!

Hi. I'm Phil, nice to meet you!

  • Me:
    Purple and pink
    Old classic movies are the best
    Practical jokes (nothing too mean, just fun)
    Milk chocolate instead of dark
    Nectarines instead of peaches
    Pepsi instead of Coke, but both with a little bit of lemonade
    The sound of laughter
    Working with such remarkable students who are changing the face of the university makes it the best job I've ever had.
