email : Webview : Celebrating the legacy of Walter H. Capps and more inspiring programs

Dear UCSB Affiliates,

It's been great to see many of you at recent Affiliates events including last Friday's wine & cheese. Thanks again to Dr. Paula Bruice for hosting!

We are excited to highlight an upcoming campus event that speaks directly to the mission of the UC Santa Barbara Affiliates program: connecting campus and community. This weekend, the Capps Center is hosting a celebration of the legacy of Walter H. Capps, renowned professor of religious studies. Capps was a public scholar, deeply committed to building bridges between academics and community members. We hope you will join us for this inspiring program!

Please note: the private tour of the UCSB Library Special Research Collections will be rescheduled for early December. We apologize for the inconvenience and will send out more information shortly.

In the meantime, enjoy the latest edition of the Affiliates newsletter!

Sincerely,

The UC Santa Barbara Affiliates Board
