Meet your LALS Academic Advisors

Ursula Oberg, LALS Undergraduate Program Coordinator

My favorite part of this job is talking to students: in person, on Zoom, or over email. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to talk about your academic, career, or life goals. I am a slug alum, and someone who got a lot out of my undergraduate experience here. I can't wait to help you make the most of your time at UCSC by getting to know more about you and your interests. Make an appointment with me on Navigate Slug Success or email me at lalsadvising@ucsc.edu.

María Rivera, LALS Peer Advisor

I am a transfer student at UCSC pursuing a combined major in Latin American and Latino Studies and Sociology. I would love to become a full-time advisor helping students reach their goals and connecting them with resources like my advisors have done for me! Don’t be shy to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about the LALS program. I’m looking forward to meeting many of my Banana Slug peers! Email me at lalspeer@ucsc.edu.
