UC Santa Barbara will host its annual "Spring Insight" open house for prospective students and their families on Saturday, April 14, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The day-long program of lectures, demonstrations, and tours is designed to showcase what UC Santa Barbara has to offer undergraduate students. It is also a fun way to get to know the campus and learn about the opportunities it offers for academic and personal growth.
While intended primarily for admitted students and their family members, the popular program is open to all potential future students as well as the general public. The event is free, no reservations are needed, and parking on campus in designated lots and all parking structures will be free for participants from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The day's schedule includes presentations by campus officials from the Office of Financial Aid, the Educational Opportunity Program, and the Colleges of Engineering, Creative Studies, and Letters and Sciences. Representatives of some 40 campus organizations will be on hand to provide information about their groups' activities.
In addition, UCSB faculty members will deliver lectures on a variety of subjects including astronomy, immigration, and engineering.
"Welcome" tents will be located adjacent to all three parking structures on the campus. Staff members wearing blue UCSB polo shirts and student volunteers wearing Spring Insight T-shirts will be available to assist and direct visitors.
