The Company of Friends
Cowell College's motto is: The Pursuit of Truth in the Company of Friends. This concept is embraced throughout the college, most in its efforts to foster smaller communities within the larger, to encourage personal development, and fostering interaction between students of all disciplines. As the collegiate system was brought to UC Santa Cruz in order to help create a small college feel at a major university, so too was Cowell designed with two quads of small buildings to further break up the College into clusters of students. Thus, Cowell works to create a feeling of "home" while living here.
