UCSB Give Day is Thursday, April 9!

Fuel Curiosity, Connection, and Creativity at CCS

Join the College of Creative Studies for UCSB Give Day 2026 to support the people, spaces, and moments that make students thrive. On April 9, visit the CCS Give Day page to help us reach our goal of 50 gifts!

“CCS is a small college with just 380 students and a handful of dedicated faculty and staff, but what happens here is genuinely unlike anything else I can find in higher education. On UCSB Give Day, I'm asking you to invest in the future our scholars are creating through the Dean's Fund for Excellence. This is the most flexible and immediate way to support the CCS mission. I commit to putting every dollar received to work directly on our students’ behalf.”

—Timothy Sherwood, CCS Dean 

This year, a $5,000 gift from CCS parents Chris and Julie Proctor will be unlocked when we reach our goal of 50 gifts — amplifying the impact of every contribution.

We also invite the CCS community to build on this momentum by becoming a Give Day Ambassador. Sharing your story can inspire others to join this effort and make a real difference for alumni, families, faculty, staff, and friends! 

Curious what Give Day looks like in action? Revisit last year’s event and see how the community came together to exceed our goal.
