The purpose of the Blockchain at UCSF is to build community and educate those interested in blockchain technology, practical applications of blockchain in modern life, and meaningful opportunities to participate in blockchain adoption. The Blockchain Club will host speakers with industry expertise and provide opportunities for UCSF community members to explore fundamental ideas and groundbreaking applications of blockchain technology. Our goal is to increase literacy regarding blockchain technology by educating people about its applications in both the public and private sectors. Moreover, given our evolving world in which digital footprints are becoming an ever-important part of our identities, we will explore topics around cyber-security, encryption, and decentralization. Of note, we aim to be blockchain agnostic and will not promote attendees to invest in specific cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or companies. Moreover, given the volatility of crypto markets, we encourage all attendees to do research outside of the club before investing any money in the industry.

The First Generation to College Organization (FG2C) at UCSF believes that providing mentorship, community, and professional development for first generation to college students ensures that our academic community remains inclusive, vibrant, strong, and diverse.
