Do you support the continued funding of $3.65, (of the $3.65 collected, $2.74 goes to the program and $0.91 is for Return to Aid) per undergraduate student per quarter including for summer quarter for Arts & Lectures?
Pro Statements
Each year, UCSB Arts & Lectures (A&L) presents over 100 films, lectures, performances, and events featuring renowned musicians, dancers, theater artists, and thought leaders from around the world. Notable figures include His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, Amanda Gorman, Yo-Yo Ma, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, RuPaul, José Andrés, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, among many others. These events not only provide the UCSB student body with unique cultural experiences but also support classroom learning, with many students attending as part of their course requirements. Many of the artists also engage in educational outreach through workshops, masterclasses, and meet-the-artist sessions.
The student fee supports A&L in preserving and enhancing these services, allowing us to: 1) offer deeply discounted student tickets (typically 80% less than general public prices); 2) provide a wide variety of events at no extra cost; 3) offer student employment opportunities and internships for over 80 UCSB students annually; 4) foster meaningful student-artist interactions through educational outreach; and 5) bring influential thinkers, authors, and artists to campus, providing students with unique learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
