Gateway to Learning
Note from the Editor
UC Santa Barbara’s campus now welcomes students and visitors through
the Henley Gate at the east entrance. At the recent dedication for the gate and
Steck Circle, Jeff Henley ’66, a key donor for the east entrance project,
pointed out that the structure is not just a gate to the campus, “but also
a gateway to learning” and research opportunities offered within.
It is also worth noting it will be through Henley Gate that the university
will send hundreds of thousands of graduates to make their mark on the world.
This issue of Coastlines highlights some alumni who have already made their
mark, from those chasing a dream at the Beijing Olympics (page 12), to those
who invite UCSB researchers into the fight to cure diabetes (page 6), to those
who give back by coaching sports (page 18) or promoting healing after war (page
14).
Here at Coastlines, we’re also opening a new gateway to our content
by making the articles available online at www.ucsbalum.com/Coastlines/index.html.
Continue to watch our Web site over the next several months to see how it evolves.
You can be a part of it all by sending in Milestones information, Letters
to the Editor or just your opinion about it all to andrea.huebner@ia.ucsb.edu.
Don’t forget to include your graduation year.
