Department Marketing Statement:
The UC Santa Barbara Office of Development blends the
strengths of both a centralized and a decentralized operation. Although all development officers report to the Associate Vice Chancellor for
Development or his/her designee, some are dedicated to specific schools and units, working hand-in-hand with Deans, Directors and faculty to
secure private support. Additional development officers focus on specific regions of the country and/or are dedicated to increasing
involvement by alumni, Job Standards and friends. A strong central core initiates programs, or provides guidance and expertise, in
foundation relations, planned giving, capital projects, donor stewardship, The UCSB Foundation and other areas of specialization. An
integrated tracking and coordination system ensures a collaborative and smooth working environment, all aimed at enhancing UC Santa
Barbara’s attractiveness to, and involvement with, the private sector.
Benefits of Belonging

contributions by making this a great place to work. Excellent retirement and health are just one of the rewards. Learn more about the benefits of
