| CASP LIVING ARCHIVE |
In the summer of 2017 we piloted a new project launched at CASP 101 (our summer transition program), that we call the CASP Living Archive. For the Living Archive, we interviewed and recorded individual student's personal narratives.
These interviews were held before their first Fall quarter as UCSD students and we will offer them the opportunity to be interviewed again before they graduate from UCSD.
All interviews published as part of this series are with the permission of the students.
