A Word from the Chancellor
A
s we begin the 1998-99 academic year, I am proud and pleased to
welcome you to UCSB. As new or returning students, you are entering
an exciting and important phase of your lives.
UCSB has a reputation as a world-class research university, with a friendly
and rich environment in which all of us from diverse backgrounds will grow
and blossom together. I am sure you will take advantage of all that our campus
has to offer, and that you will thrive here. Our faculty and staff are deeply
committed to helping you achieve your academic and personal goals.
UCSB’s distinction is unquestioned: The campus was recently ranked in a
national study as one of the top two public research universities in the
country, based on per capita faculty productivity and scholarship. UCSB is a
member of the prestigious 62-member Association of American Universities,
which are within the top 2 percent among all the universities and colleges in
the United States and Canada. The quality and stature of our undergraduate
programs equal that of our research programs.
These honors and other recognition of our academic excellence are
testimony to the pre-eminence of our professors, the academic programs in
which you will participate, and the very high quality and diversity of the
student community of which you are a special member.
Perhaps you will join some of UCSB’s 300 clubs, or participate — as do
80 percent of your fellow students — in intramural sports. You could become
a volunteer in the community, as nearly half of our students do, or become
active in student affairs through the Associated Students, Graduate Student
Organization, and others.
Whatever you choose to do, we are all here to support and encourage your
efforts to become the best that you can be. This is a wonderful place for you to
learn and grow.
Welcome to UCSB!

issues of our time, it is a place where learning and living are as natu¬
ral as the Santa Barbara coastline and the nearby Santa Ynez Moun¬
tains. It is a place that nourishes equally mind, body, and spirit.
For aU its natural beauty, however, UCSB s uniqueness lies else¬
where. It is found in its superb learning environment, in the
relaxed relationship between faculty and students, and, above aU,
in a deep-rooted commitment of professors to ensuring that all
students reach their fullest potential.
While pursuing research at the highest levels, UCSB’s faculty is
passionately dedicated to teaching. Our professors firmly believe
that learning must be face to face, mind to mind. They engage and
challenge their students almost from the day of their arrival on
campus. And the intellectual sparks may fly virtually anywhere—in
the classroom, in one of UCSB’s superbly equipped laboratories
or music studios, or simply over lunch in the University Center.
