UC Santa Barbara will host its annual "Spring Insight" open house for prospective students and their families on Saturday, April 4, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The daylong 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.
Parking on campus in designated lots and all parking structures will be free for participants between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The day's schedule includes presentations by the Office of Financial Aid, the Educational Opportunity Program, Campus Housing, and the Colleges of Engineering, Creative Studies, and Letters and Science.
Representatives from more than 40 campus organizations will be on hand to provide information about their group's activities.
In addition, UCSB faculty members will deliver lectures on a variety of topics, including "Singing Black Holes," "The Effect of Music on Narrative in Hollywood Feature Films," "The Trouble with Immigration," and "Three Old Islands, Three Intriguing Evolutionary Tales."
Student guides wearing yellow Spring Insight T-shirts will welcome and direct visitors, alongside staff members wearing blue UCSB polo shirts.
