2026 Academic Research Consortium

Our Admissions, Outreach, and Diversity team welcomed scholars participating in UC LEADSUCSB-CSU Summer Research Institute (UCSB-CSU SRI), Cal-Bridge Program, and CSU Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Scholars Program  to our campus to experience mentored research, professional development, and community at UC Santa Barbara.
