Exciting Events Ahead with the UCSB Affiliates!
Dear Affiliates,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Profs at the Pub! It was a fascinating afternoon exploring the cultural history of the rickshaw in 20th-century Japan with Professor Kate McDonald. We love seeing our community come together for these lively off-campus academic deep dives.
We have a busy season ahead with several exciting opportunities to connect with campus research and local experts. From an in-depth exploration into women’s health to high-stakes debates on the future of technology, there is something for everyone.
Explore more ways to connect with UCSB and the Santa Barbara community in this month’s newsletter!
Until next time,
The UC Santa Barbara Affiliates Board
