2022 Party Safe Team:

Greg

Hello! I'm the lead party safe intern this year. I'm excited to help provide practical and factual information about alcohol and other drugs to all my fellow slugs. If I can continue to dispense the alcohol & drug knowledge I wish I had when I started college, then this program will continue to be a success in my eyes. We're here to help y'all so please always feel free to DM us any questions or suggestions!

Max

Hey y'all! I’m a fourth-year astrophysics & psychology double major. This is my second year working with Party Safe, and I've been working at SHOP since I was a freshman. I joined Party Safe to help give back to my community and give people resources to reduce their harm while using AOD. In my free time, I love to play D&D, cook, and watch video essays on Youtube. Feel free to say hey if you see me around campus!

Kasandra

Hello! I’m a second-year Literature and Astrophysics double major here at Party Safe :) I love reading, going to the beach, and haunted houses. It's my second year with the program and I am so excited to meet all the new (and returning!) students here at UCSC and introduce them to the program! I believe the harm reduction approach to alcohol and other drug education is vital to *actually* creating a safer campus and preventing harm, and it's important to me to provide a comfortable and neutral space for that on our campus. I'm looking forward to this new year with everyone! <3

Ben

Hi y’all! I’m excited to work again for y’all here at Party Safe and SHOP!

Emma

Hey y'all! I'm a 2nd year Human Biology Major! I'm so excited to be working at Party Safe and bringing non-judgemental, educational opportunities to students about Alcohol & Other Drugs and harm reduction techniques! This is my first year working at Party Safe at SHOP and I can't wait to be a part of this amazing resource for students! Feel free to drop by to say hello or message us!

Keiko

Hey y'all! I'm a second-year critical race and ethnic studies major. I'm grateful to be on the Party Safe Team this year as a resource and advocate for other students. I'm a strong believer in harm reduction and am super excited to share some strategies! I’m especially interested in critically learning and thinking about the sociocultural-political implications and influences of our AOD use. I love art, writing, and being active. Slugs take care of slugs—feel free to say hi or ask questions if you see me around!

Mac

Hello all! I'm a second-year Literature major with active involvement in the arts. I'm a big believer in the importance of community well-being. When we all look out for each other, our shared environments become more positive spaces to exist in. I joined Party Safe to channel my passions for harm reduction, practical education, and collective good into something impactful. See you around :)

Noah

Hi Slugs! I'm a third-year Psychology student at UCSC. This is my first year joining the Party Safe team and I am super excited to be a peer educator! I was interested in Party Safe’s commitment to harm reduction and community health. A little about me, I love playing sports and supporting my Bay Area teams. I’m interested in social and developmental psychology, as well as politics and health. I can’t wait to have more conversations around campus!

Jordy

Hey slugs! I’m a third-year Linguistics major. It is my first time working with Party Safe. I’m looking forward to getting out of my comfort zone as well as informing individuals on harm reduction and alcohol and drug safety. I really wanted to be part of this program because I feel that it’s important to talk about alcohol and substances instead of pretending it doesn’t exist, especially on a college campus. I know that it can be a lot moving to college and being on your own for the first time. I was grateful enough to have people who’ve taken care of me and kept me safe. I want to do the same for others. Feel free to stop by or DM us if you have any questions! Stay safe slugs :)
