Community Outreach and Involvement Opportunities
Center for Science and Engineering Partnerships (CSEP): CSEP offers professional development seminars and workshops for science, engineering and math graduate students on a variety of topics including personal skill building; communicating science; teaching and mentoring; and career development. To hone these skills, graduate students can serve as mentors and/or teachers for K-12 students; community college and/or university undergraduates; and other community partners through our various programs. All of the programs organized by CSEP welcome graduate student participation. Those interested should refer to the online program descriptions and contact the appropriate coordinator.
Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE): WiSE, a non-profit organization, was founded in Spring 2001 to promote equal opportunity for women and girls in science and engineering and improve their scientific and career advancement. WiSE encourages the participation of all science/engineering undergraduates, graduates, researchers, faculty, and professionals in the Santa Barbara area. WiSE hosts a weekly coffee hour, which serves as an informal event to socialize and recruit students who are interested in their activities.
