The Admissions and Outreach team attend various events to provide students with opportunities to visit the campus or learn more about what UCSB has to offer. In the summer and fall, we participate in graduate school fairs, forums, and conferences to attract a diverse and exceptional pool of applicants to apply to our graduate programs.
