October 2022
Gaucho Parents & Family Newsletter

Hello, Gaucho parents & families!

This month's newsletter includes a reminder about Halloween activities, Parent & Family Weekend details, highlights from the recent Job & Internship Fair, and more.

Reminders

Halloween weekend will bring a number of exciting events for students both on campus and in Isla Vista: a free concert, silent disco, ferris wheel, roller skating, a poetry slam, and much more! We hope you will encourage your student to look for Halloween announcements in their university email and to respect the community's wishes to "Keep it Local, Keep it Safe" by not inviting out of town visitors or hosting large gatherings.

Resource of the Month

Transfer Student Center

The Transfer Student Center’s (TSC’s) mission is to support the success and growth of transfer students who have a diverse and specific set of needs. The Center has taken a critical role in both coordinating existing campus resources and developing new programming to better support transfer students at UCSB.

The TSC is home to full-time academic advisors from the College of Letters & Science, peer mentors, and departmental partners who are able to help transfer students transition successfully to UCSB by providing specialized programming and opportunities that add value to their undergraduate education. The TSC is located centrally on campus in the UCSB Library so it is easily accessible to all transfer students.
