More than 6,000 alums attended events ranging from Taste of UCSB (above), Athletics Hall of Fame Banquet, Gaucho Gallop, Alumni Association Awards, the 50th anniversaries of UC Education Abroad Program and KCSB, and more. Many events benefited the Alumni Association Scholarship Fund, with nearly $20,000 raised to help UCSB students. Click above to see the All Gaucho Reunion photo gallery.
