A Letter from the Chancellor
Dear Students:
Welcome to UC Santa Barbara! We are glad to have you as part of our
community of scholars, and of our UCSB family.
I invite you to get involved in our campus life. You will find that the roads to
growth and personal fulfillment take you far beyond the intellectual pursuits
at the core of our daily lives. This Chicana/o Latina/o Resource Guide provides
information on a wonderful variety of student clubs, programs, organizations,
cultural events, activities, campus services, and other resources available to
you. I encourage you to browse through this handbook, and to get to know the
helpful staff at our Chicana/o Latina/o Cultural Resource Center. This Center is
one of many academic and personal support systems created with you in mind.
Here at UCSB, we are proud of the rich and diverse mix of cultures and
perspectives that contribute to our community. This diversity is an essential part of our reputation for
excellence. For example, our campus is one of 61 elected members of the prestigious Association of American
Universities, placing us among the top 2% of all public and private universities in the United States and Canada.
Among those AAU institutions, we are #1 for our percentage of Chicana/o and Latina/o enrollment, which
has risen from 16% to 24% of our undergraduate class over the past decade. We have been ranked by Hispanic
Magazine as one of the “Top 25 Colleges for Hispanics,” and we are moving in the direction of becoming a
designated Hispanic Serving Institution under the U.S. Department of Education’s guidelines. Our campus is
home to a Chicana and Chicano Studies department, Chicano Studies Institute, and a library collection devoted
to the field. In 2003, we became the first university in the nation to establish a doctoral program in Chicana
and Chicano Studies.
As students, you are an important part of our academic community, and we value your contributions and
participation. You are the reason we are all here—and we want to help you make the most of your time with us.
My wife, Dilling, and I look forward to meeting you on our walks around campus and Isla Vista, and in our
classrooms, residence halls, and dining commons. Please come up and say “hello”!
Again, welcome from all of us.
Sincerely,
Henry T. Yang
Chancellor

A Letter from Vice Chancellor Young
Dear Student:
On behalf of the Division of Student Affairs, let me welcome you to UCSB and
encourage you to make the most of the resources available to you on campus and
in the surrounding community, many of which you will discover by reading this
guide. In particular, I want to invite you to visit UCSB’s Chicana/o Latina/o Cultural
Resource Center (CLCRC). The CLCRC is a home for Chicano and Latino students,
a place that cares for them, supports them, celebrates them, and promotes their
success; it’s a place where students can meet and engage other students, staff,
and faculty who are part of UCSB’s community. The CLCRC is located in the Student
Resource Building (SRB), a facility that houses a number of student resource
centers as well as many of the campus services that support students and help them achieve both personal and
academic success. I encourage you to participate in all of the resource centers’ events and activities and take
advantage of the many services available to you at the SRB and elsewhere on campus.
Again, I welcome you to UCSB, and encourage you to use this guide to help your successful transition to campus.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Young
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
A Letter from Associate Vice Chancellor
María Herrera-Sobek
Dear Students:
I am delighted to welcome you to our beautiful UCSB campus! We have both a
spectacular location and splendid people helping you achieve your dreams of
obtaining a university education. Our campus is famous for its friendliness.
You will feel right at home in no time at all.
We are proud to say that UCSB is a highly diverse campus with different cultures
and ethnic groups represented and welcomed. Our university has been designated
as an “emerging” Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) since we are almost at the 25%
level of Hispanic enrollment.
UCSB supports and diligently works toward maintaining a safe and open environment for a diverse population of
students. We care for the physical and emotional well-being of our students. A nurturing environment leads to
happy students who are then able to perform at the highest level of their potential.
I most heartily welcome you and wish you the very best at UCSB.
Sincerely,
María Herrera-Sobek

| 1944: UCSB joins the University of California system
Welcome to the Chicana/o Latina/o Resource Guide,
On behalf of the Office of Admissions, we want to welcome you to the University of California, Santa Barbara.
We are delighted to share with you our first Chicana/o Latina/o Resource Guide. UC Santa Barbara has a rich
tradition of culture, community, and world-renowned academics. We created this resource guide to help you
navigate and discover the diverse communities and abundant opportunities at UC Santa Barbara.
In the last ten years, the academic prestige of UC Santa Barbara has grown
nationally and internationally, with UCSB placed among the top 10 public
institutions. Our faculty includes five Nobel Laureates, the 2006 Millennium
Technology prize winner and hundreds of published authors. Our professors are
readily available to our students. In fact, even our Chancellor, Henry T. Yang,
teaches a class for undergraduates.
Approximately 200 faculty and staff identify as Chicana/o Latina/o, and each
one brings a unique perspective to UCSB. A select listing of about 50 faculty and
staff members appears on pages 20 - 22. I encourage you to contact them with
questions you may have about UCSB.
While academics will remain your main focus at UCSB, our campus will become
your home away from home. UCSB guarantees housing to all first year students,
and recently extended the guarantee for additional years. Currently about 80 percent of UCSB students live
within walking and biking distance of campus. Your classmates are your neighbors, friends, and family.
‘Familia’ is important. I know you will enjoy finding your place in one of the 400 student organizations on
campus. More than 40 of these student groups are centered in Chicana/o Latina/o culture. (Please see a list of
student organizations on pages 18 & 19.)
The Office of Admissions wants to help you through the college application process. If you are reading this as a
future applicant, please know that all of us in the Office of Admissions are here to help. Throughout the year
we host admissions workshops and webinars to help you navigate the UC application and personal statement,
and to educate you about student life at UCSB. The best way to know about our presentations and workshops is
to join the UCSB mailing list (www.admissions.ucsb.edu/JoinOurMailingList.asp).
Again, welcome to the UCSB Gaucho family!
Con Cariño,

I Wish I Knew . . .
Advice from Current Students
I love that at UCSB the student body is committed to social change, justice, and community; the faculty no
matter what department they’re in always seem to genuinely be interested in undergraduates’ success here .…
It’s clear students and faculty want to be here! I am extremely happy and blessed to be in an environment like
this because I doubt there is a better one than this.
Amy A. Martinez (Sociology, 3rd Year)
I wish I knew I could get involved with undergraduate research even
before starting my freshman year. Summer and school year internships
will definitely be a great experience and will help you figure out what
you want to do. Plus, you get to work with professors and graduate
students in the actual labs! Definitely take advantage of these
opportunities.
Damian Leon (Mechanical Engineer, 3rd Year)
I wish I had known about all the free resources available on our campus
that have contributed to my success.
Juan Carlos Gomez (Earth Science, 1st Year)
My primary goal (after UCSB) is to obtain a Ph.D. in neuroscience and conduct research related to brain
disease. UCSB has provided a solid foundation for me, through courses, research opportunities and interaction
with my professors.
Hiram M. Dominguez (Biopsychology, 4th Year)
I LOVE the diversity of UCSB. The people here are very friendly. I plan to go to
medical school. UCSB has helped me become an independent individual; it has given
me a chance to pursue higher education and be successful.
Victor Valladares (Latin American & Iberian Studies, 3rd Year)
I love the environment at UCSB … and the variety of organizations and resources that
UCSB provides its students. There is something for everyone whether it is CLAS for
help with school, or Counseling Services if you need someone to talk with, or the
Educational Opportunity Program for focused academic advising, and plenty more.
With all these services I never feel alone. Andrea Valenzuela (Latin American & Iberian Studies, Black Studies minor, 3rd Year) I wish I had known about ILL (Inter Library Loan) program, it is such a money saver.
There are options other than buying your books!
Kenia Cruz (Global Studies & Sociology, 2nd Year)
I wish I would have started out strong with regards to my grades; everything builds on each other. Classes aren’t as
difficult in the beginning so it’s easy to fall into bad study habits and stay stuck in “high school mode.”
Mayra Pérez (Biological Science & Spanish minor, 3rd Year)
I wish I would have been on a budget so I would not have taken out all the loans they offered, and instead only
taken those that covered just what I needed.

| 1969: El Plan de Santa Barbara meeting, which triggers the national Chicano Studies movement
I love the sense of community at UCSB. The
amount of support that exists within organizations,
from professors, and from my experience from
programs such as McNair, Los Ingenieros and MESA,
is wonderful … I also love the sense of camaraderie
at UCSB; it’s great to feel comfortable, welcomed
and have a sense of unity.
Rosalía C. Zárate (Mathematical Science,
4th Year)
I love the vibe you get in the classroom. It is not competitive … and it motivates me to go to class!
Leticia Torres (Pre-Biology, 1st Year)
My favorite UCSB experience, hands down, is the first time I went to a soccer game with the Chican@/Latin@
Scholars Floor. The advice I would give to an incoming student is to take advantage of EVERYTHING the campus
has to offer …. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and there’s no such thing as a stupid question.
Gabriela Mora (Global and International Studies & Spanish, 2nd Year)
Never miss an opportunity to interact with your professors and peers.… Most likely what you think or what
you’re going through, someone else has too. Finally, just breathe; you’re in a new place.
Jorge Ramirez (Black Studies & Sociology, 3rd Year)
For incoming freshmen, I definitely recommend figuring out what kind of resources the
school has to offer, because your tuition pays for all this. Counseling services, the gym,
and PLENTY of other things. Go investigate! Also, check out the stuff that happens offcampus in the community because there is plenty you can get involved in too.
Bernie Tapia (Mathematics, 1st Year)
I love the people I’ve met at UCSB, the education I’ve gotten and how there is always
something going on, whether it is educational or social.
Amaris Velasquez (Global Studies, 2nd Year)
Well yes, the beach is definitely one of the reasons I chose UCSB. Aside from that, I love
that UCSB is not overall a commuter school. I love that all my friends and classmates are
ten minutes away from me.
Jorge Rosas (Latin American & Iberian Studies, 3rd Year)
My goals after UCSB are to attend grad school in a Chemical Engineering program here at UCSB or MIT. I think I
am on the right path because of UCSB.
Carlos Cid (Pre-Chemistry, 1st Year)
My goals after UCSB are to obtain a Master’s degree in Education and to become a high school college
counselor.… My experience here at UCSB will allow me to return to my community to make a difference among
our future leaders, the youth. UCSB has allowed me to broaden my horizon and look beyond my expectations.
Maria Reyes (Chican@ Studies, 2nd Year)
My advice to first year students: make sure to take classes from different departments to figure out what really
interests you. Thus you can choose your major. Aurea Martinez (Sociology & Latin American Studies, 4th Year)

The History of “Chicano/a Studies” at UCSB
The development of Chicano Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara was
born out of a struggle that took place in the latter part of the 1960’s with the birth of the
Chicano Movement.
In Los Angeles, 1967, a conference of students from campuses throughout California
took up the issue that had also concerned African Americans – equal treatment and
empowerment. Students left the conference speaking some unfamiliar words: Chicano
and Chicanismo. The power of the new/old terms was strongly felt.
UCSB at the time was a campus that was predominantly white and upper-middle class.
Like many other universities, UCSB was facing student demonstrations that were in sharp
contrast with the peaceful 1950s and early 1960s. Anti-Vietnam War sentiments were
part of the emotional mix.
In October, 1968, a group of black students at the campus raised charges of racism at UCSB, and staged a
takeover of the campus computer center in North Hall. The Commission to Investigate Problems of Racism were
created to look into the issue. The growing Chicano movement on campus demanded changes in university
social sciences and humanities curricula that would consider the experience of Chicanos and Latinos in our
society. They also were a powerful voice for recruiting more Chicano/Latino students to campus with the help
of the new Educational Opportunity Office.
In April, 1969, a group of UCSB community and campus activists met at the
Francisco Torres Residence Hall (known today as Santa Catalina hall) in a
conference that laid the groundwork for the creation of El Plan De Santa
Barbara. El Plan proposed creation of the department of Chicano Studies and
a Chicano Research Center that would focus on Chicanos and Mexicanos in the
Tri-Counties area (San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura).
Chicanos challenged academia to live up to its lofty ideals and to make a
lasting contribution that would ultimately benefit the Chicano community
and society as a whole.
The establishment of the Chicano Studies department in 1969, along with
the Chicano Research Center, makes these entities among the longest established units within the UC system.
Professor Jesus Chavarria was appointed as Director of the new Center for Chicano Studies, effective January
1, 1970. The Center was envisioned as a major research component that would bring scholars from a number
of departments to study the character and problems of the Chicano community, and foster community service
including workshops, social activities and publications. The local counties at the time were 20 to 30 percent of
Mexican descent, so the community service mission was expected to have a positive impact.
El Plan laid out the concept of the University working for the students, training them to go into the community
and give back to those who had fought for the program from the beginning.
During this period of the late 1960’s and the early 1970s, six distinct groups of Chicanos formed student
organizations that would be instrumental in the formation of the Chicano Studies Department, the Chicano
Studies Research Center, and the Chicano Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).

The six groups were: United Mexican American Students (UMAS);
Movimiento Estudiantel de Astlan (MEChA), United Front, La Raza Libre,
El Congreso de La Raza Libre, and El Congreso.
Cástulo de La Rocha was a student at UCSB during the formulation of the
student groups that helped legitimize Chicano Studies and formulate El
Plan de Santa Barbara. He was also one of the founders and leaders of
UMAS.
“We were the idealism that (the administrators) were missing,” De La
Rocha said, “and that’s what made the relationship at Santa Barbara
such a treat, one that for years became sort of a model relationship
between students, faculty and staff.”
Chicano students also began to form undergraduate clubs and pre-professional organizations, such as Escualito,
Radio Chicano, Ingenieros, Chicano pre-law and Chicano pre-health. In 1974 students organized the first
Chicano/Latino graduation ceremony. The procession allowed graduating seniors to incorporate culture and
language in the ceremony. Today over 220 students participate in Chicano/Latino graduation.
Thus, UCSB students played a vital role in the formation of the Department of Chicano Studies and the Research
Center. Their demonstrations and activism led to a change that is still felt to this day in the Department and on
the campus.
By the 1975-76 academic year, the department of Chicano studies reached a high (to that point) of 346 students
enrolled in its courses.
In 2003, UCSB established the nation’s first doctoral program in Chicano studies. “The approval of our Ph.D.
program reaffirms UCSB as a premiere university in the nation and in the world in the field of Chicana and
Chicano studies,” said UCSB Chancellor Henry T. Yang in making the announcement.
Because of El Plan, several campus services, organizations, and policies were
created that are still in place to ensure the positive growth and mobility of the
Chicano/a student on this campus. In addition to the academic departments,
Colección Tloque Nahuaque at the UCSB library exists as a unique collection of
resources and objects devoted to Chicano/a and Latino/a culture. Colleción
serves as a major resource for information on the cultural heritage and history of
Chicano/as and Mexicans in the United States.
The UCSB campus in the new millennium is now a very different place after 45
years. Some 23 percent of students are of Chicano or Latino descent and the number
continues to grow every year. “Diversity” is a hallmark of the campus environment
and admissions. As we move towards being a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), the
tri-part commitment to students, culture, and education remain a focus for UCSB’s Gaucho community.

Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies
Spring 1969, at the height of the Chicano Renaissance, a group of Chicano activists and intellectuals met on the
campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara and prepared the foundational document El Plan de Santa
Bárbara. Inspired by their own culture and communities, these men and women generated an educational
model for institutions of higher learning which would be more responsive to Chicanos and would provide a
bridge for a new generation of Chicanos to higher education. El Plan de Santa Bárbara recognized the central
role of knowledge in power structures and in producing real social change. The Plan was the intellectual model
for the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies at UCSB and it continues to exert a profound influence on
the discipline here.
UCSB is home to a Chicana and Chicano Studies department, Chicano Studies Institute, and a library collection
devoted to the field. Over the past three decades, the department has developed an interdisciplinary
curriculum that focuses on gender, culture, and institutions. Courses probe the roots of a cultural tradition
beginning with the pre-Columbian cultures of Mexico and extending into the many areas of contemporary
American society, including politics, education, literature, the arts, and religion. Chicana and Chicano Studies
majors gain insight into cultural issues and knowledge of the historical significance of Chicanos as a group.
Students also develop the necessary analytical and methodological skills to better understand the emerging
multicultural character of the Southwest and the key role Chicanos will increasingly play in the future, given
the rapidly changing demographics of both the Southwest and the nation.
At the present time, the department has more majors and double majors than ever before and is expanding its
curricular offerings. The major is especially recommended for those planning professional careers of special
importance for the Chicano community such as law, the health sciences, social services, and education. The
degree program also provides an exceptional opportunity for students to participate in the planning and
development of their course of study.
Chicana and Chicano Studies at UCSB is organized around various support units: the Department of Chicana
and Chicano Studies, the Chicano Studies Institute, the Colección Tloque Nahuaque Unit and the California
Ethnic and Multicultural Archives (both in the Davidson Library), the Luis Leal Endowed Chair, the Educational
Opportunity Program, El Congreso, Chicanos for Higher Education, and various student groups.

| 1971: UCSB opens the Chicano Studies Department
The Chicano Studies Institute
The Chicano Studies Institute is an organized research unit founded in 1969 to develop and support research
on the history and contemporary socio-cultural, political, artistic, and economic conditions of Chicanos/as,
Mexicanos/as, and Latinos/as. The Institute brings together faculty who engage in Chicano Studies through
work groups, collaborative research and creative projects, publications, conferences, seminars, and exhibits.
The Institute supports the Luis Leal Endowed Chair in conjunction with the department. The Institute is also
developing initiatives to strengthen the recruitment and retention of faculty who specialize in Chicano/a
Studies. The Institute prioritizes research initiatives and training activities for graduate and undergraduate
students.
Public service forms an integral part of
the Institute’s mission. As one of only two
organized research units devoted to the study
of Chicano/a and Latino/a populations in the
University of California system, the Institute
is often called upon to provide information
to local community agencies, community
leaders, and state and national entities, as
well as to the local campus community. Each
year the Institute co-sponsors numerous
community events designed to enhance an
understanding and appreciation of Chicano/a
and Latino/a society and culture.
The Institute continues to work closely with
the Department of Chicana and Chicano

EOP INTERN PROFILE
Saludos compañer@s! My name is Ibeth Arriaga and I am an intern for both the Chican@/Latin@ Culture
Resource Center (CLCRC) in the Student Resource Building (SRB), and El Centro de Arnulfo Casillas (Bldg. 406).
I am a third year, double majoring in Chican@ Studies and Latin American and Iberian Studies, and I am from
Hawthorne, CA.
My goal is to provide a space for cultivating positive cultural identities, celebrating the diversification of the
Chican@/Latin@ community, as well as encouraging the social weaving and maintenance of a local community
that serves as support system for its members.
It is an honor to be working with the Chican@/Latin@ Culture
Resource Centers, more specifically in El Centro de Arnulfo Casillas.
El Centro has a unique history in regards to the Chican@ movement
of the early 1970’s. It has aided in the struggles por la causa and
is home to the oldest Chican@/Latin@ student organization and
official M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chican@ de Aztlan)
chapter named El Congreso. As a member of El Congreso and two
other sub-committees under its umbrella (out of 17 that cater to
focused interests), I am here to support, contribute and aid in
any way possible with the needs of the diverse Chican@/Latin@
community.
PAZ y La Lucha Sigue!

Hi Everyone! My name is Vanessa Tejada and I am a student intern
at the Chicana/o Latina/o Cultural Resource Center, also known as
the CLCRC. I am a fourth year, Salvadoran student from Sacramento,
majoring in Political Science and Chican@ Studies. During my time
at UCSB I have had a variety of jobs, which extend from working for
EOP, being a Residential Advisor (RA) for Housing, to a law assistant in
a law office in downtown Santa Barbara. I also know a lot about the
resources available on campus, so if you ever have questions feel free
to look for me at the EOP office. As a fourth year, I look forward to
giving back to my community that has given so much to me. I really
look forward to meeting everyone, and eager to supply the CLCRC
with academic, financial, and post-grad resources. Please don’t
hesitate to contact me or any other EOP staff member if you need
assistance along your UCSB journey.
All the Best,
Vanessa Tejada

A Conversation with Bill Villa
by Pete Villarreal, former director of EOP at UCSB
Bill Villa had a long and distinguished career at UCSB — from graduate
student and administrator to staff member emeritus. After he retired in
2000, the UCSB Bill Villa Service-to-Students Award was created in his honor.
UCSB graduates from the late 1960s up to the year 2000 either saw Bill in
the Educational Opportunity Office where he was Associate Director, or
received his signed offer of admission as UCSB’s Director of Admissions. This
was during some tough times, including the passage of Proposition 209.
In his role in Admissions, he improved opportunities for thousands of
applicants and admits. His annual goal was to increase the numbers of
students admitted to UCSB, and to diversify the student population.
Bill often reflects on the students of color present in the mid-’60s. “The numbers were very low in those early
days,” he said. EOP did not exist at the University of California until 1966. UCSB established the EOP unit on
campus in spring of 1967.
Bill was hired as an EOP counselor during the first year of the program, and soon was asked to help lead EOP
under the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Minority Affairs.
Though the ‘70s were turbulent and challenging, with the Civil Rights Movement and unrest throughout the
nation, Bill led EOP to gradual yet productive growth over nine years. Based on his success, he was appointed
UCSB’s Director of Admissions in August, 1977.
Bill served as Director of Admissions for 23 years. He experienced the changes to affirmative action and the
implementation of Proposition 209. He led campus efforts to diversify its undergraduate student population,
while meeting state and federal guidelines. For years, Bill helped pave the way for all students, including those
from low income and first generation families. Much of the diversity on the campus is due to his leadership.
In recognition of his work, the Bill Villa
Award is given annually to departments that
show “Unparalleled devotion to students and
extraordinary and unselfish team service to the
university.” The EOP Office itself received the
Villa award in 2004, for support of the Admissions
Comprehensive Review process. EOP and Admissions
continue to work closely on the admissions process.
Bill feels very grateful for the opportunity to
provide access to higher education for the youth of
California. He continues to serve as a role model for
many of the managers at UCSB. We are fortunate
to still have him available to us whenever we need
some guidance or inspiration.

Alumni Profile
Yolanda Garcia
The diversity of the UCSB student body has changed tremendously over the
past 40 years. Few people have been more involved with that change than
Yolanda Garcia.
Yolanda came to UCSB as a freshman in 1966, when perhaps a dozen
Chicano students were enrolled in a student body of 9,000. One year later
she was active in a student organization with a mission to attract more
Chicano-Latino students. Their action led to the hiring of Bill Villa as the
first Chicano counselor at EOP. Today almost 25% of UCSB undergraduates
are Hispanic.
Yolanda spent her entire career at UCSB, earning both a master’s degree
in counseling and a doctorate in educational policy. She was hired as an
EOP counselor by Bill Villa in 1970, and rose to be the director of EOP and
assistant vice chancellor before retiring in 2008.
How did you come to UCSB?
It was a comedy of errors. My best friend and I both planned to come here and live together. Then my friend
got married instead, and I came here by myself. I was first-generation college. I didn’t understand what a
university was, what the expectations were.
At first I wanted to quit but my mom would not let me. She put me on a Greyhound bus and sent me back to school!
It was 1966, and I didn’t meet one person who looked like me until my sophomore year. I played Mexican music
and my roommate told me to turn it off. I felt there was something wrong with me. If there was support,
I didn’t get it. There was no CLAS or EOP. The gardeners at UCSB adopted me! They said, “You can’t quit.
You’ve got to stay here.” They were like my uncles.
You became very active: How did that start?
I received a phone call one day from a group that had searched all the Spanish surnames on campus. There were so
few. We met around one picnic table on campus. We started an organization called UMAS, United Mexican American
Students. A freshman leader had come from high school walkouts in East Los Angeles, so he was very political.
I didn’t grow up in a Chicano-Latino Community, or the Barrio. But I knew when I got here that there was
something seriously wrong, to have so few brown faces.
How does the university feel today?
There are people all over this campus who care about our students, who are very student-centered. I love the
commitment of students to making the world a better place to live.
What do you advise students today?
You have to be aware of your style, how you learn, and make that work for you. Don’t be afraid to go in and
talk to the faculty or your academic advisors. They want you to learn. The worst thing is not to ask for help
when you need it.
When I became EOP director, it was a phenomenal experience. It broke me out of a focus on just one group of
students. It became about improving access for all the groups who comprise students. They are all our students
and we have a responsibility.

“STEP” Through History
Since its birth in 1978, the Summer Transitional Enrichment
Program (STEP) has served thousands of incoming Educational
Opportunity Program (EOP) freshmen students. STEP, an EOP
sponsored residential summer bridge program, was created by EOP
staff and students who recognized the need to serve and support
incoming EOP freshmen during their critical transition to the
university. STEP empowers students by giving them an important
start on their UCSB education, mentorship relationships and
ownership of their education, while fostering a sense of belonging
to the UCSB community.
At STEP, students experience the university classroom setting,
become aware of the quarter system pace and research level
coursework. STEP is the beginning of their UCSB journey as firstrate scholars, leaders and citizens.
STEP also gives EOP freshmen a “jump start” in making connections
and developing a network with faculty, staff, campus departments,
and fellow students. These ongoing relationships are extremely
important to student scholarly endeavors at a nationally ranked
research institution such as UCSB. STEP recognizes the vital importance of community relationships between
students and faculty that contributes to student scholarly achievements and becoming life long learners.
In addition to its academic focus, STEP’s evening and weekend events include programs that are social and
experiential in nature. Examples include faculty dinners, meetings between students and staff, tutoring, access
to computer labs, and lectures and workshops by key university faculty and staff members. Social interactions
among students cultivate long lasting friendships.
University research shows that STEP participants perform better
academically than students who did not have the opportunity to
attend STEP. The many academic accomplishments and leadership
roles held on campus by EOP/STEP alumni further attest to the
benefits of STEP. For these reasons and more, student demand for
enrollment in STEP remains high.
Throughout the history of STEP, EOP staff has
integrated STEP thoroughly into the campus
community. STEP students have continued this
legacy by immersing themselves into leadership
roles on campus, student organizations, study
abroad, research activities, internships, and post
graduate study.

Faculty Advice to Undergraduate Students
Students should be ready to open up; that is, not
only share their analysis on the assigned materials,
but to explore how they relate to their everyday
lives and the contemporary world. Remember, as
someone wise said long ago, we’re not just here to
interpret the world, we’re here to try to change it.
Ralph Armbruster-Sandoval, Ph.D.
(Associate Professor, Chican@ Studies)
“Read, read, read and then read again. This is your
main job for the next four years. I still have books I
read in 1972 for various courses with underlines and
comments—I can’t believe I was so much wiser then!”
Aída Hurtado, Ph.D. (Chair, Chicano Studies
Department & Luis Leal Endowed Chair)
Collect your doubts and clarify them
during office hours. Even if you do
not have any questions you will
learn from those of your classmates,
so attend the office hours.
Gustavo Ponce, Ph.D.
(Professor, Mathematics)
“My advice to freshmen first generation college
students is, seek out professors and other mentors
with whom you can identify, and who are open to
giving you guidance and a hand in friendship and
support. Develop a good working relationship.
Develop a circle of friends and peers who will
encourage you in your studies and in adjusting to
university life, and work collectively with them to
mutually support each other … Remember always
that college can be daunting, especially in the first
years, and know that many others are going through
the same experience; don’t get overwhelmed …
Apart from required courses, seek out classes and
topics of study that will spark your passion.”
William Robinson, Ph.D (Professor of Sociology)

Living-Learning Communities –
A Special Residential
Opportunity
Housing is guaranteed to all first year students at UCSB.
Undergraduates find that living in the residence halls is an
excellent way to meet new people and become involved in the
campus community. Community programs are a unique and
rewarding aspect of living in the residence halls.
Special “Living-Learning Communities” (LLC) organize some
residence hall floors around special cultural, academic and
recreational themes, providing additional resources and
opportunities for you to get connected with your fellow residents.
Faculty and staff mentors work with Residential Advisors and
residents to explore your community’s special theme through
social, educational, cultural, and recreational events.
The CHICAN@/LATIN@ SCHOLARS FLOOR accommodates 50
students in San Miguel Hall. The floor welcomes students who
are interested in Chican@/Latin@ culture, language, and issues. This floor offers an academic mentorship
program, opportunities to participate in community service, to develop leadership skills, and for university
involvement. You don’t even have to speak the language or share the culture; just be interested in learning
and participating.
On the MULTI-CULTURAL EXPERIENCE FLOORS in Manzanita Village and in Santa Catalina Hall, students from a
variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds explore social issues through a multitude of activities. Students will
examine their own beliefs, discuss them with others, and look at how we all interact with one another. This is a
dynamic LLC!
If you would like to join a LLC, indicate three possible choices when you
sign up for residence hall housing using the Personal Preference form. The
Housing team will strive to accommodate one of your three requests as
space permits!
Other themed Living-Learning Communities are the Environmental Floor,
the First-Year Experience Floor, the Outdoor Adventure Floor, the Transfer
Living Hall, Quiet Floors, and Substance-Free Floors.

2007: UCSB becomes a host campus for the McNair Scholars Program |
Applying to UC Santa Barbara
If you are already a student at UC Santa Barbara, you know about applying to the campus. For your friends
and others, a summary may be useful:
• UCSB admits freshmen and transfer students for the Fall quarter.
• Applications are submitted online the November prior to enrollment.
• UCSB uses a comprehensive review of a student’s work. Evaluators look to see how well an applicant did
in the context of their opportunities and challenges, both inside and outside the classroom.
Applicants write “personal statements” in response to prompts:
Prompt #1 (FRESHMAN): Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or
school – and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.
Prompt #1 (TRANSFER): What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed
and describe any experience you have had in the field and what you have gained from your involvement.
Prompt #2 (ALL): Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that
is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate
to the person you are?
You respond in a total of 1,000 words, with no fewer that 250 words in either essay. The Personal Statement is
your chance to explain who you are, and what drives you. Most important, the essays should add clarity, depth,
context and meaning to the application.
HINTS TO HELP YOU EDIT YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT:
CONSIDER COVERING:
Personal triumphs or challenges, explaining what you learned from your experience(s).
Leadership in family, school, clubs, community, business, etc.
Experiences outside the classroom (e.g., travels, church/temple, work, youth groups).
Disabilities – Feel free to talk about it in the context of your ability to succeed.
Culture – How it influenced who you are.
Talk about yourself! Make it about you, with “I” statements.
MISTAKES TO AVOID:
Inappropriate use of humor.
Creative writing (poems, scene setting, etc.).
Quotations – Use your own thoughts and words, not someone else’s.
Generalities – Stick to facts and specifics you want us to know about yourself.
Repetition – Give us new information we can’t find in other sections of the application.
Philosophy – Avoid questions with no answers.
Talking to one campus – Each campus to which you apply will see the same statements.
UC Campuses are great places. We want to know what you will add to the mix!

UCSB’s Education Abroad Program (EAP)
SEE THE WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE
The chance to study in another country through UCSB’s Education Abroad
Program (EAP) while still enrolled at UCSB is a life-changing experience.
There are EAP options for every major, allowing all of our students to study
and live abroad, take classes in their major and still graduate on time.
Since 1962, UC’s Education Abroad Program has helped more than 75,000
UC students benefit from international education.
Today, students can choose one of 250 university partnerships in 38
countries, from Argentina to Vietnam. Because all EAP courses are
accepted as UC courses, students who plan carefully may spend as much
as a year in a foreign university with no loss of time in completing their
degrees. Participants can maintain the UC quality and their financial aid,
and possibly even access more scholarships and grants.
Through EAP, students can study in English or another language; go for a
summer, a semester or a year; do field work, independent research, or an
internship abroad.
Most UCSB majors find that a term or a year in a foreign university
enhances their critical thinking and writing skills, and that adapting
to another academic and cultural environment expands their selfunderstanding. Students become better attuned to the political and social
differences in the world today. Additionally, the personal and intellectual benefits of study abroad help with
graduate and professional study.
Freshmen can apply to study abroad beginning in their sophomore year. Transfer students are eligible to
participate as early as their first term at UCSB.
It’s important to begin planning as early as possible for study abroad. With so many EAP options to choose from,
it may seem like a daunting process. Hearing from past participants is a valuable resource as students look into
the many possibilities.
Pay a visit to the EAP office at 2431 South Hall to speak to peer
advisors and global interns who have recently returned from
studying abroad. They and the staff advisors are eager to answer
your questions and share their exciting stories. Also, go see
your undergraduate major advisor and make an appointment to
speak with an advisor in your college.
For more information,
visit the UCSB EAP web site at http://eap.ucsb.edu/.

Gaucho! The True Story of UCSB’s Spirit Leader
By Paul Rivas
From southern Brazil to the remotest corner of Patagonia, the traditional gaucho riding the endless pampas
or grasslands, mirrors the dusty romantic glow of his American cowboy cousin. When Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid fled to Argentina, they found men who resolved disputes not with a gun, but with a knife, and
who valued independence almost as much as style.
The gaucho legacy lives on in our corner of California, where students, alumni and sports teams from UC Santa
Barbara call themselves Gauchos. But even though UCSB adopted the Gaucho mantle more than 70 years ago,
few know why we should be proud to wear the name.
The word “gaucho” has no fewer than 35 possible origins, including the Brazilian Portuguese guadeiro
(“vagabond”). The original gauchos were a mix of Guaran and Mapuche Indians, intermixed with Portuguese
and Spanish colonials. Attempts in the 1500’s to found the city of Buenos Aires left horses and cattle roaming
wild on the pampas. A gaucho with a horse could support himself and travel with plenty of time for vicios
(vices), and not have to listen to anybody.
“For action, he loved perpetual wandering over all else, and for conversation, soliloquy,” wrote Ricardo
Giraldes in the 1926 novel “Don Segundo Sombra.” Charles Darwin marveled at the gaucho’s devotion to style,
noting, “The gaucho never appears to exert any muscular force.”
The gaucho’s penchant for drinking and gambling, and his fondness for resolving subsequent arguments with his
knife, earned him a reputation as a bit of a menace to civil order. Gauchos such as this are hard to find today,
yet popular culture refuses to let them die.
For 21st-century Californians, the UCSB Gaucho is the most prominent and lively example, especially as our
university teams continue to succeed in multiple sports across the country.
The university began using the nickname in 1936, when female students, inspired by Douglas Fairbanks in the
1927 film “The Gaucho,” led a vote to change the mascot from the original “Roadrunners.” Some say the student
body was ready for a Spanish name along the lines of the celebrated Dons of Santa Barbara High School.
In the mid-1990s, raucous Gaucho basketball fans became notorious for sailing tortillas out onto the court at
televised games. UCSB Athletics now prohibits tortilla chucking at basketball games lest players slip on the
hardwood courts. However, the tradition of flying tortillas persists at UCSB soccer games.
Today, the attitude-rich Gaucho standard bearer is Olé, highly visible at UCSB events, and beloved for his
spirited taunting of athletic rivals. The current logo of the teams is a wide-brimmed hat with a mysterious,
Zorro-like mask underneath. It’s a fitting symbol of the gaucho’s anarchic spirit, born in the Argentine cowboy,
and now quintessentially UCSB!
UCSB graduate and Santa Barbara native
Paul Rivas is the Academic Skills Coordinator at
Campus Learning Assistance Services (CLAS).
Rivas hosts a show on UCSB radio station KCSB
called “Real Gauchos.” Visit his website at
