Dive in
Stone Soup
Mercedes Millington, Alec and Claudia Webster ’75, and Peter Schuyler help to expand access to UC Santa Barbara’s Santa Cruz Island Reserve. Thanks to their collective support of field-station improvements and education opportunities, every visitor can experience the island’s beauty and contribute to its preservation.
Preserving Campesino Culture
Gilbert García H’90 and Marti Correa de García have donated 61 Mexican prints to UC Santa Barbara’s Art, Design, & Architecture Museum, honoring the resilience and collectivism of campesino culture. Their gift, along with endowed support for research and exhibitions, preserves the stories of migrant farmworkers and celebrates their enduring contributions.
Beyond the Classroom
Matthieu ’87 and Marie-Anne Duncan are expanding hands-on learning through their support of the Division of Social Sciences Dean’s Investment Group and Education Abroad Program. Their generosity gives students the chance to apply classroom knowledge, from managing investments to studying in France.
