Still the best: UCSB voted Santa Barbara’s No. 1 place to work

From the lab to the lagoon, UC Santa Barbara’s mix of ocean views, teamwork and innovation has once again made it Santa Barbara County’s Best Place to Work in the Santa Barbara Independent’s annual readers poll. It’s the ninth straight year the campus has claimed the honor.   

“UC Santa Barbara is a community of dedicated people who strive to make a difference through education, research, and service,” Chancellor Dennis Assanis told the Independent. “We are proud to contribute to and enrich the greater Santa Barbara community and California through our discoveries, creative endeavors, business startups, arts programming, and educational outreach. It is a tribute to our staff and faculty that the campus has been recognized as the best place to work for nine years running.” 

The Santa Barbara Zoo was named runner-up.
