Bren School

Environmental Changemakers

For more than 25 years, the Bren School has grown and evolved at UC Santa Barbara. Thousands of people — students and faculty, donors, group project clients, and other stakeholders — have made the Bren School a part of their lives, and each one has left a mark. The Bren School truly could not be what it is today without the passionate support of its community.

The Bren School community continues to welcome fresh faces and new perspectives, and launch many adventures. This year, the members of the Class of 2022 will join an alumni network of over 1,500 environmental leaders. Then, in September, a new cohort of eager and open minds will take their place.

Give Day is an opportunity for this diverse community to come together, recognize the value that the Bren School has brought to our lives, and support progress as the journey continues!
