The AS Global Gaucho Commission is a commission of the Associated Students of UCSB. It is a student-run organization that focuses on making UCSB a better community for both international students and domestic students by promoting events that celebrate international students’ culture and other programs that facilitate the international students’ inclusion and enable the domestic students to experience the culture and joy from around the world.

For less than a bottle of Gatorade per quarter, you can make a difference in the educational experience of both 13% of the international students and 87% of the domestic students. Please vote YES on the GGC lock-in fee. Together, we can do it!”
