We host a variety of fun and engaging events on and off-campus including quarterly mixers with other members of the Affiliates community and campus partners. We aim to explore the ways in which our campus and local communities are working together.

Affiliates Signature Events
Annual Awards Luncheon
Each Spring our Affiliates, community members, UCSB Faculty & Staff gather to celebrate the recipients of the Affiliates Scholarships & Fellowships. We have an afternoon filled with celebration and community as we honor the undergraduate and graduate student awardees. The UCSB Affiliates take pride in supporting exceptional students across academic disciplines who are making their mark on the Santa Barbara community and beyond!
Wine & Cheese Mixers
Hosted every Fall & Spring
Mix and mingle with the Affiliates! This quarterly tradition was originally established by the UCSB Shoreliners as a way to get together to enjoy good wine and good company. Typically hosted in November and April of each year at the home of a UCSB Faculty Emeritus.
Profs at the Pub
A fun and though-provoking series that brings UCSB research and topics right into the community! We bring UCSB's top notch professors to Santa Barbara's local watering holes to present their cutting-edge research and ideas in a short lecture followed by a Q&A.
Jo Little Memorial Walk
Every Spring
Join the UCSB Affiliates for a campus flora walk guided by Professor Emeritus, CCS Dean Emeritus, and paleobotanist Bruce Tiffney. Professor Tiffney provides incredible and detailed history on all the diverse plants that have been introduced to the UC Santa Barbara campus.
