2024 Events

The new Science Communication Club at UC Santa Barbara aims to make science more digestible, accessible, and exciting across various fields and demographics. Workshops are held biweekly and our next one is, on Wednesday, November 20th, at 6:00PM with Tessa Cafritz in Bren 1414. Tessa Cafritz is a naturalist and Volunteer Program Manager of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History’s Sea Center. This interactive education workshop will teach attendees how to share scientific topics in informal/interpretive education!

 Calling ALL CCS Majors!  

Established in 1954, the Faculty Research Lecturer is the highest honor the UC Santa Barbara faculty can bestow on one of its members. Each year the Academic Senate recognizes one individual for their outstanding academic and creative achievements and invites them to present their work to the campus community. These lectures, which were disrupted during Covid, commemorate the accomplishments and professionalism of our distinguished colleagues.

Lectures: 4 pm - 6 pm | Light refreshments to follow

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.

The Center for Black Studies Research (CBSR) invites you to join for the inaugural screening of our documentary series on African American life in the United States.

AI tools have the potential to revolutionize teaching and learning by increasing efficiency and fostering more equitable and inclusive classrooms. However, they also pose challenges, particularly when it comes to maintaining academic integrity. In this workshop, we will explore both the exciting possibilities and the problematic aspects of AI in education, offering strategies to harness its benefits while addressing ethical concerns.
