Please note: the History Associates talk scheduled for January 11 has been moved to Tuesday, March 5 at 6:00pm. See below for details and more fascinating history talks happening February.

Make sure to save the date for an upcoming Affiliates event on March 19: Bikes and Data—A Santa Barbara Story will feature Dr. Trisalyn Nelson, the Jack and Laura Dangermond Chair of Geography, and a panel of leaders from across the South Coast to discuss how they're working together to make Santa Barbara a better place for biking. We are thrilled to be working closely with campus and community partners to co-sponsor this exciting conversation.
