The Associated Students (A.S.) of the University of California, Santa Barbara is non-profit organization and a department of the UCSB campus, funded by undergraduate student fees. Through elected student positions and appointments we voice student concerns and express student opinion to the UCSB administration, UC system, our community, and state and local governments. We have dozens of boards, committees, and commissions that are organized and funded through A.S. to enrich student life and give students services and opportunities not offered by the administration. Our mission is to help students uphold the high academic standards and give them leadership, employment, cultural and growth opportunities to serve the campus community.
There are many ways to view the rich history of A.S..
- Living History Project – a digital history project exploring the ways in which increased UCSB students engagement with the university and surrounding community has shaped the local history.
- Flashback – an online annual report
