Committees

Make a Difference. Join a Committee.

Every year, students like you, in collaboration with the MESA program, come together to plan and execute one of the biggest outreach events at UCSB. This is your opportunity to not only make a difference but also develop your leadership, organizational, and communication skills, among other skills.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask! You can contact Steven (bustillos.steven@gmail.com) and Diana (dnvv.ao11@yahoo.com) with your question.
