| Chancellor's Welcome Message to Students |

Dear Students,
Welcome to the 2007-08 academic year! We are glad to have you with us, and we appreciate the energy, enthusiasm, and intellectual curiosity you bring to our campus.
As students at UC Santa Barbara, you are an important part of an extraordinary community of scholars. Our distinguished faculty includes five Nobel laureates; recipients of the National Humanities Medal, National Medal of Science, and Millennium Technology Prize; scores of members of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and other prestigious national organizations; numerous Fulbright and Guggenheim scholars; and many other top national and international award winners. Together, our faculty, staff, and students are passionate in the pursuit of excellence and diversity on our campus. We have made tremendous progress in advancing our reputation as one of the best universities in the world. This world-class reputation will be further enhanced by your contributions to our academic community.
We are all here to help you develop your potential and make the most of your time with us. There are so many wonderful ways for you to get involved, such as through research and creative projects, campus organizations, student government, intercollegiate athletics and intramural sports, volunteer work in our community, and much more. Think about challenging yourself with something new this year - you might find friends in unexpected places, and discover talents and interests you never even knew you had.
My wife, Dilling, and I look forward to seeing you on campus. We are so glad to have you as part of our UCSB family.
Sincerely,
Henry T. Yang
Chancellor
