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. 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. Each year, Residential Staff host a series of events known as the Cowell Olympics, which pit teams of students from the two quads, or each individual building, against each other for prizes, their house name on an oficial college plaque, and most recently, a banner to hang from the building's balcony.
