2024 Events

Dear Community, 

This exhibition showcases 15 research posters selected by a jury of UCSB librarians at the UCSB Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities’ 2024 Poster Colloquium. Outstanding undergraduate research from the humanities and fine arts, social sciences, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics divisions is included. 

The displayed posters demonstrate the breadth and depth of undergraduate research at UCSB. Posters were selected for demonstrating excellence in clarity, visual representation, presentation, and intellectual significance.

Inspired by the breathtaking landscape and diverse marine life that surrounds our campus, Sea Change aims to bridge the gap between marine awareness and conservation engagement among the UCSB community. From the rocky reefs of the Santa Barbara coastline to the tranquil kelp forests of Santa Cruz Island, this exhibition offers a glimpse into the vibrant biodiversity and the fragile balance of our underwater backyard. 

Join us for "Headlands" - a gallery show put on by our very own CCS Art colloquium course students! Reception happening Wednesday, December 4th from 5-7 PM.
