Student Affairs - Parents and Family Weekend 2020
Welcome
On behalf of all of my colleagues in Student Affairs and at UCSB, thank you for joining us at this year’s virtual Parents and Family Weekend!
We recognize that student academic support, personal wellbeing, and social engagement are critical to student success. Our units are actively providing students with basic financial, food, and housing resources; healthcare and psychological counseling; academic tutoring; career advising and employer connections; cultural programs and social activities; daily exercise and wellbeing classes; and more. Please review these resources and take time to discuss them with your student.
Student Wellbeing Resources
On this website, we provide links to a range of services related to well-being such as: assistance with basic needs, counseling and physical health resources, daily wellness centers and programs, social connection, and personal safety.
Shoreline (Web & App)
Shoreline (shoreline.ucsb.edu) is UC Santa Barbara's student engagement platform. The app and homepage include links to campus resources, campus news, and community events. You can join and engage with more than 500+ campus organizations and departments.
Basic Needs Resources
UCSB is committed to ensuring that students are able to meet their basic needs (including but not limited to food, housing, and finances) especially during these quickly changing times.
