Hosted by ES Program Chair David Pellow and ES Student Services Manager Eric Zimmerman this informal Happy Hour Social/Zoom Chat will offer graduating ES Seniors an opportunity to logon for a fun and informal discussion with their favorite ES faculty, staff, and fellow graduating seniors. There will be both a large format discussion as well as rounds of short breakout sessions (~5 minutes each) where guests can chat in smaller groups with randomly assigned peers and faculty. It will be a great opportunity for those in the Class of 2020 to 'hangout' one last time with ES classmates and faculty while enjoying a celebratory beverage.

For this chat we are asking only graduating ES & Hydro seniors and ES Faculty & Staff to participate.

Over the course of this year a small group of environmental studies students have coordinated the design and production of T-shirts to celebrate 50 years of the E.S. Program at UCSB. A creative group of students and alumni selected via a T-shirt design contest during fall quarter were chosen to collaborate on a design for these shirts. We are happy to announce that the UCSB Environmental Studies Program's student designed 50th anniversary t-shirts are now on sale!

To accommodate the many students who may be out of the Santa Barbara area, shirts are made-to-order via TeeSpring and can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. Shirts can be ordered in two styles: short sleeve ($19.82 USD + $3.99 shipping) or long sleeve ($22.77 USD + $3.99 shipping). All available styles are made from recycled materials and/or 100% organic cotton. Shirts are sold at cost and no money is being made off the sale of the shirts.
