Each year, UCSB hosts the Annual Student Leadership Expo! This conference is open to all college and high school students in southern California.
It is designed to provide students with the information and skills necessary to becoming successful leaders as well as opportunities for students to network and make connections with each other.

The workshops are designed to cultivate strong student leaders for the betterment of both the student and their community.
The Expo also allows students from UCSB, Westmont, Ventura College, CSU Channel Islands, Brooks Institute, Allan Hancock College, Cal Poly SLO, Santa Barbara City College, and high schools in the Santa Barbara area to network with each other and make connections with other student leaders.
