Winter update: Join us biweekly on Wednesdays for our general body meetings! Our first will be on January 15th at 6pm in the UCEN Lobero Room We hope to see y’all there!

Are you interested in student activism? Do you love history? Would you like to gain research experience? Consider becoming a part of UCSB’s Living History Project!
The Living History Project is a branch of Associated Students that tracks, archives, and narrates the history of student activism at UCSB. It traces the origins of organizations such as BSU, El Congreso, A.S. Queer Commission, Associated Students, etc. and outlines how they were developed and integrated into our community. This project shifts the historical point of view towards the students and shows how they enacted change on and off campus. The Living History Project amplifies the voices of the students in the face of corruption, injustice, and inequity and will continue to serve as a platform as current social and political issues arise.
Join us at our first meeting TONIGHT at 6 PM in the AS Annex, and learn about how you can get paid for your own research!
