Note from the Editor By Andrea Huebner
Looking to the Future
After two decades working at magazines and daily newspapers, I am excited
to join the staff at UC Santa Barbara Alumni Affairs as the editor of Coastlines.
As a 1991 alumna of this great university, it is a thrill to join the Gaucho
team at a time of great transformation.
The recently opened Mosher Alumni House
is becoming a center of campus
life, with programs for both alumni and students. Alumni Affairs is also creating
connections between students and alumni through the Campus Alumni Program
for Students. And UC Santa Barbara continues its evolution in academics and in
its beautiful campus as proposed in the Long Range Development Plan (page 24).
As
Coastlines follows the progress of these efforts, the magazine will undergo
refinement as well. Our first step has been to make the magazine available online
in the Publications section of the Alumni Association’s Web site: www.ucsbalum.
com/publications/coastlines.html. Just click on the cover image to download a
PDF of this latest edition.
While Coastlines continues to highlight the accomplishments
of UCSB and its
alumni, such as Jack Johnson (page 10), it will also explain how the university
contributes to the lives of alumni and the citizens of our nation. We want to
show
you how UCSB remains involved in your daily lives—from the Economic Forecast
(page 21) to networking opportunities to continuing your education through
Summer Sessions—even if your student years are far behind you. Coastlines
will also showcase opportunities to reconnect—through giving, learning
and
reaching out.
One of Coastlines’ most popular sections is Milestones, where
alumni offer updates
on their professional and personal lives. I’d like to invite all alumni
to send
us a note about a new job, professional award, marriage or new child. Information
can be sent using the form on page 36 or by simply e-mailing me. Don’t
forget to
include your graduation year!
I’d also welcome suggestions on what you would
like to see in Coastlines or
how the magazine can serve you better. Send mail to Coastlines, Mosher
Alumni House, UCSB, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-1120 or e-mail to
andrea.huebner@ia.ucsb.edu.
I look forward to bringing you news on UC Santa Barbara
and its alumni and
hope you will keep us up-to-date on your lives.
