The College of Creative Studies Gallery at the University of California Santa Barbara is pleased to present the exhibition “The Future Can Only Be Told in Reverse”, opening February 14, 2018

Hank Pitcher (CCS Art ’71) was one of the original 50 students when the College of Creative Studies (CCS) opened its doors in Fall 1967. He joined the CCS Art faculty upon his graduation in 1971 and has remained with the College ever since.

From an early age, Mark had two loves: mathematics and games. As he excelled through high school math, playing any game he could find along the way, he looked for a college that would challenge him academically

The College of Creative Studies has long adhered to the belief that no research or creative activity is complete until communicated.

I had a series of remarkable classes in my freshman year of CCS Literature, including “Malaise, Melancholy and the Production of Art”, taught by Jacob Berman.

Deans, students, and staff will come and go; new CCS buildings may even come and go, but the home inside CCS will continue to morph around its central principles of creation and discovery.

CCS will celebrate the unveiling of the new logo this afternoon (Monday Dec 11) with a reception starting at 230 PM in the CCS Gallery. Designer Jon Ritt will be here for the unveiling.

Final exams scheduled for the coming week will be rescheduled for the week of January 8. 

The health and safety of our students and our community is our top priority. Following consultation with faculty, administrative colleagues, students, and staff, we are announcing the cancellation of classes for Friday, December 9.

Although UC Santa Barbara is a significant distance from the Thomas Fire and no danger is posed to our physical campus, UCSB is announcing that all remaining classes on Thursday, December 7, have been cancelled. Given the uncertainties the fire presents, this difficult decision will allow us to assess logistical issues in advance of finals week, which is scheduled to begin Saturday.
