One of the best things about being immersed in campus life at UCSB is that students, faculty, researchers, and the greater Santa Barbara community can take advantage of the variety of intellectually stimulating, civic-spirited, and socially engaging opportunities that it provides. The award-winning UCSB Reads program is a common reading experience that involves the campus and the broader Santa Barbara community in conversations about a key topic while reading the same book. In 2024, we are looking forward to events that include faculty panels, book clubs, film screenings and creative workshops.
