Celebrate the end of the quarter, usher in Finals Week, and come join us for eating, discussing, and playing around with pi(e)! From circular pizza to baked goods, games, and fun as endless as pi itself - we're looking forward to having you there.

From the UC Santa Barbara Graduate Division:

The runners-up from the preliminary rounds will compete for a spot in the Grad Slam campus final on April 3.

Small marks and individual units combine to build a landscape and architecture greater than its own. The exhibition Soft Bodies brings together the distinctive work of two artists, Melinda Braathen and Liz Stringer, each offering a unique perspective on the delicate interplay between the individual and the collective. The exhibition examines impermanence, transformation, and the evolving relationship between the sacred and the performative.

Join us for an evening of music that explores the depth and complexity of sound through a range of styles and emotions. Layers, a senior recital by OBSD Vision Fellow Donavan Walker '25 (CCS Music Composition)! Experience Live original music composed by Donavan Walker and stunning voice acting from Justin Sanchez '26 (UCSB Department of Theater and Dance)! Doors open at 4:30 PM, and TICKETS ARE FREE for everyone!
