Director of Family Communication and Engagement
Steven Ponce, M.A.
I joined Santa Clara University in October 2023 and have enjoyed every moment working with the parents, guardians, and family members of our students. I have the privilege of communicating regularly with our family community - keeping you informed about what’s happening on campus, sharing the many resources available to your students, and helping you stay connected so you can best support them.
I know a little bit about most things at SCU, so if you’re ever unsure where to turn, you can always reach out to me or my team, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
My role goes beyond communication. I partner with colleagues across campus to create opportunities for families to engage with Santa Clara. From collaborating with the Center for Student Involvement on Family Weekend, New Student and Transfer Orientations, and Welcome Weekend, to hosting webinars with campus partners, my goal is to provide meaningful ways for you to stay involved and connected.
Parents, guardians, and family members are a critical part of the student experience, and I look forward to partnering with you to help make your student’s journey at Santa Clara a successful and memorable one.
