Saturday, April 26, 12 – 2 p.m.

Porter Dining Hall, Cost: $20

There was never a more original social network than the dining hall. Live the experience again and reconnect with fellow Banana Slugs, while remembering good times over lunch. Create new memories with old and new friends new in our fun photo booth.

Get a taste of today's fresh dining hall fare, including campus-grown veggies from the UCSC Farm and locally-made ice cream from Mission Hill Creamery. Sip some artisanal wine or a glass of beer while you network and reminisce with your proud fellow Slugs. This event will feature Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard wines produced by UCSC alum Jeff Emery (Crown '81). 

The Banana Slug, the world's second-largest, land-based mollusk, is never in much of a hurry. You won't be either as you kick back with old friends and new acquaintances. Chat about old times and new, take photos together, post them on Facebook, and don’t forget Twitter: #ucsc.

This is your time to relax and reconnect. Think of it as an old-school “social network” of the highest order. Sammy the Slug says your chances of going to this event and not having a grand old time are "slime to none."
