Creating Community Through Delicious Food

The talents and experience of UCen Catering and Special Events Catering have merged to become Campus Catering. Coinciding with the blend is an expansion in services and plenty of fresh, new offerings.  

COVID-19: Two Years Later

As we prepare for the last quarter of the 2021-2022 academic year, I want to applaud the work that everyone has accomplished while facing immense challenges. I also want to breathe a sigh of relief due to COVID positivity numbers dropping across the country, including Santa Barbara County and here on campus, and the shifts taking place at this time – shifts that are moving away from public health mandates toward public health recommendations.

Sofa Swap at Sierra Madre

Last summer, Residential Operations staff made an effort to replace damaged furniture in anticipation of residents returning to campus in Fall 2021. Our staff discovered that 70 of the sofas in Sierra Madre Villages were showing signs of damage, specifically the "pleather" fabric was experiencing significant peeling and tearing. Typically, soft furniture should last up to ten years, but these sofas were already in poor condition after five to six years.
