Irene Reti

35 Years | Director of the Regional History Project, UCSC Library

"I'm proud to have helped chronicle the history of this extraordinary campus through conducting and editing many oral histories. At UCSC, the past haunts the present—in the recorded memories of lime workers munching potatoes on the porches of wooden cabins on the historic Cowell Ranch; in the spindly redwoods that sprout in rings around the ghostly stumps of old-growth trees; in the names of buildings likeMcHenry Library and Kerr Hall; in the very architecture that both inspires and constrains academic planners as the current campus wrestles with the meanings of its beginnings. My time at UCSC extends back to 1978, when I came to these redwoods as a young environmental studies student. I also love photographing the campus and am honored to have won the Chancellor's Photo Contest in 2019. I am so very grateful to have been a part of it all."

I never forgot to take my cell phone along after that!"
