Калифорнийски университет, Санта Барбара Калифорнийският университет, Санта Барбара (на английски: University of California, Santa Barbara или UCSB) е обществен университет с изследователска насоченост[1], намиращ се на брега на Тихия океан в Санта Барбара, Калифорния, САЩ. Принадлежи към калифорнийската щатска университетска система. UCSB е на 35то място от университетите в цял свят и на 27мо в САЩ през 2007 година.[2][3] Съдържание История[редактиране | edit source] Университетът е създаден през 1905 година като независим от системата на държавните университети (Santa Barbara State College). Неговата ориентация е най-вече за подготовка на учители, езици и изкуства. С помощта на губернатора на Калифорния по това време, през 1944 г. университетът е преместен в системата на Калифорнийските щатски университети, които имат по-голяма изследователска и академична насоченост. Събитията по време на войната във Виетнам[редактиране | edit source] През 1960-те и 1970-те години по време на антивоенната съпротива срещу войната във Виетнам университетите в Санта Барбара и Бъркли предизвикват вниманието на националните медии. След поставянето на бомба в преподавателския клуб и запалването на клона на Bank of America тогавашният губернатор Роналд Рейгън налага полицейски час и изпраща Националната гвардия за осигуряването на съблюдаването й. Това става през 1971-1972 учебна година. Един от ораторите на студентите по това време е Джеси Джексън. Местоположение и структура[редактиране | edit source] Калифорнийският университет - Санта Барбара се намира на скалите на самия Тих океан. Дворът на университета не принадлежи към града Санта Барбара.[4][5] Въпреки че е по-близо до новосформирания град Голета, университетът не е част и от него. Всички университети от Калифорнийската щатска система имат автономно управление. Разделен е на 4 части: Главният двор (Main campus), Щъркеловият двор (Storke campus), Западният двор (West campus) и Северният двор (North Campus). UCSB е един от малкото университети в САЩ със свой собствен плаж. Самият университет е ограден от три страни от Тихия океан и има своя собствена лагуна. На територията му има специално пригодени пътеки само за велосипедисти, тъй като велосипедът е любимо средство за придвижване на почти всички студенти. Лагуната е голямо изкуствено водно пространство между сградите San Rafael и San Miguel. Много от по-старите сгради се заменят постепенно с нови. Университетът има няколко библиотеки, които съдържат 2.8 милиона тома материали, събрани на микрофилми, звукозаписи, книги, правителствени документи, сателитни снимки и други. Залата, известна като RBR (Reserved Book Room), е отворена за ползване 24 часа. Най-голямата зала (Campbell Hall) има 860 места. Щъркеловата кула (Storke Tower), завършена през 1969 година, е най-високата постройка в целия окръг Санта Барбара. Радиостанцията KCSB 91.9FM излъчва от тази кула. Приемане[редактиране | edit source] Калифорнийският университет - Санта Барбара е сред най-реномираните университети в САЩ. Средният резултат от приемните изпити (SAT score) е 1866.[6] 61% от приетите студенти имат бал (GPA) над 3.7.[7] 96 процента от тях се класират в горните 10% на гимназиалния си клас.[7] Таксата за подаване на документи е $60.[8] Студентски живот[редактиране | edit source] Калифорнийският университет в Санта Барбата е известен като града на непрекъснатите празници и забави, или на жаргон - "24 часа купон". През април 2006 г. списание Playboy поставя училището на второ място по този критерий. Едно от най-популярните сред студентите празнувания е това на Halloween, което се е превърнало в традиция.[9] Освен с многобройните забави, UCSB е известен и с политическата си активност, особено в областта на защитата на природата и антивоенните демонстрации. През 2006 година огромен студентски протест срещу войната в Ирак напълно парализира магистрала 217 (Highway 217) в близост до двора на университета. Всяка година през пролетта тук се провежда музикален фестивал със свободен достъп, обикновено посещаван от около 8 000 души. Вестникът на университета е Нексъс (Daily Nexus), а радиостанцията - KCSB 91.9.

University of California, Santa Barbara campus The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) campus is located around 10 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara County, California. Contents Overview[edit] The University of California, Santa Barbara is located on cliffs directly above the Pacific Ocean. UCSB's campus is completely autonomous from local government and has not been annexed by the city of Santa Barbara and thus is not part of the city.[1][2] While it appears closer to the recently formed city of Goleta, a parcel of the City of Santa Barbara that forms a strip of "city" through the ocean to the Santa Barbara airport, runs through the west entrance to the university campus. Although UCSB has a Santa Barbara mailing address, as do other unincorporated areas around the city, only this entry parcel is in the Santa Barbara city limits. Like all other UC and CSU campuses, it is self-governing and cannot be incorporated into either city.[citation needed] The campus is divided into four parts: Main (East) Campus 708 acres (287 ha) that houses all academic units plus the majority of undergraduate housing, Storke Campus, West Campus and North Campus. The campuses surround the community of Isla Vista. UCSB is one of a few universities in the United States with its own beach. The campus, bordered on three sides by the Pacific Ocean, has miles of coastline as well as its own lagoon. Goleta Point, also known as Campus Point, is a rocky extension into the ocean. The campus has numerous walking and bicycle paths across campus, around the lagoon and along the beach. Much of the campus' early architecture was designed by famed architect William Pereira and his partner Charles Luckman, and made heavy use of custom tinted and patterned concrete block. This design element was carried over into many of the school's subsequent buildings. The Lagoon is a large body of water adjacent to the coastline, between San Rafael and San Miguel Residence Halls. It was created from a former tidal salt marsh flat and is fed by a combination of run-off and ocean water used by the Marine Science Building's aquatic life tanks; thus, it is a unique combination of fresh and salt water. Many of the older campus buildings are being replaced with newer, more modern facilities. The UCSB Libraries, consisting of the Davidson Library and the Arts Library, hold more than 3 million bound volumes[3] and millions of microforms, government documents, manuscripts, maps, satellite and aerial images, sound recordings, and other materials. The 24 Hour Study Room, formerly known as the RBR (Reserved Book Room), is adjacent to the Davidson Library, which is located in the middle of the UCSB campus. Campbell Hall is the university's largest lecture hall with 862 seats. It is also the main venue for the UCSB Arts and Lectures series, which presents special performances, films, and lectures for the UCSB campus and Santa Barbara community. The UCSB Family Vacation Center founded in 1969, is a summer family camp located on campus that draws over 2,000 guests each summer. The staff of over 50 includes many UCSB students who have been extensively trained as camp counselors. Layout[edit] The university (itself termed a "campus" of the University of California) is divided into two physical campuses, a West Campus and East Campus. The vast majority of university facilities, including all lecture halls and laboratories, are in the East Campus. The two campuses are connected by a large strip (known as the North and Storke Campuses) to the north which contain university housing and athletic fields. Thus, the university surrounds Isla Vista on three sides. West Campus, aside from a few buildings dedicated to faculty housing, has largely been leased out to private organizations, and includes a school for the mentally disabled and a large nature preserve. The largest sand dunes on the south-facing coast of the Santa Barbara Channel are located here. The East Campus centers around two quadrangles, separated from each other by the main library and bus circle, and the life sciences buildings. Along the western quad are Storke Plaza and buildings housing the various arts, social sciences, and humanities departments. The Student Resource Building and the Events Center are also located along this quad. Surrounding the wider, park-like eastern quad are buildings housing the physical sciences departments and the College of Engineering. Directly to the south of, but not adjacent to, the eastern quad are the life sciences and psychology departments, as well as most of the on-campus housing. The southernmost section of the campus is dominated by the lagoon. The peninsula extending from the beach into the lagoon contains an elaborate labyrinth. Bicycles[edit] UCSB is known for its extensive biking system. Bicycles have exclusive right of way on paths throughout East Campus. Bicycle stands and lockers are ubiquitous.[4] UCSB is unique among bicycle-heavy areas in that most travel is done within a small radius.[5] Buildings and structures[edit] Davidson Library[edit] The Donald C. Davidson Library is named in honor of Donald C. Davidson, who served as University Librarian from 1947 to 1977. It is UCSB's main library, holding the general collection and several special collections: The Sciences and Engineering Library, the Map and Imagery Laboratory, the Curriculum Laboratory, the East Asian Library and the Ethnic and Gender Studies Library. The university's Department of Special Collections are also part of the Davidson Library. The Special Collections hold rare books and manuscripts and several collections, which include the Performing Arts Collection, the Wyles Collection on the American West, the Skofield Printers' Collection, and the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives. Storke Tower[edit] Storke Tower is a landmark campanile (bell and clock tower) located in the centre of the UCSB campus. It can be seen from most places on campus, and it overlooks Storke Plaza. Dedicated for use on September 28, 1969, the 61-bell carillon tower stands 175 ft (53 m) tall. The bells range in size from 13 to 4,793 pounds, with the largest bell carrying the university seal and university motto. Storke Tower is the tallest steel/cement structure in Santa Barbara County.[6] Ocean Science Education building[edit] The new Ocean Science Education building will house the Outreach Center for Teaching Ocean Science (OCTOS) and incorporate the educational outreach program of UCSB's Marine Science Institute (MS) and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CSMS) [7] OCTOS is designed to expand science education for kindergarten through 12th graders. It will also provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, who will be voluntary guides, to learn about teaching science. The project will cost an estimated $20 million, $8 million of which has already been provided by the federal government. The remaining $12 million will reportedly be made available through private funds raised by the university.[8] The building was supposed to be completed in August 2011 but the university terminated their contract with their contractor because he was many months behind schedule and did not complete the building by the projected date. So at this time, the project remains unfinished. References[edit] - ^ University of California, Santa Barbara (1990). "UCSB Long Range Development Plan – 1990" (PDF). Page 16.
