Department Marketing Statement

The Department of Geography's vision is to lead the integration of natural, social, and information
sciences to solve problems of people and the environment. Two key terms in the vision that
separates geography from most other fields is that, first, we take integration across knowledge domains
as the central goal and, second, we use that to leverage better insights on problems that span the
natural and social realms. Faculty in geography do not necessarily hold degrees in geography (only 4
currently do), but we all are characterized by having a particular domain expertise while also being
committed to working across domains especially on problems where there are both natural and social
aspects interacting. Reflecting that framing, our faculty are classified by domain/research area
expertise and participation in cross-cutting themes. Domains define broad areas of science where we
have sufficient faculty expertise to provide graduate level education.

Notice of Availability of the UCSB Annual Security Report

The University is committed to providing a safe and secure campus environment. In accordance with the “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act” (Clery Act), UC Santa Barbara publishes an Annual Security & Fire Safety Report to provide information regarding campus safety and security policies, crime statistics, and resources to current and prospective students and employees.

This report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning crimes reported to Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus UC Santa Barbara-affiliated properties, and on public property adjacent to and accessible from campus. The report also includes fire statistics for on-campus student housing facilities, and campus policies concerning crime prevention, fire safety, crime reporting, alcohol and drug use, sexual and interpersonal violence, student discipline, and other matters. To access the Annual Security & Fire Safety Report, visit www.police.ucsb.edu/asfsr. A hard copy of this report may also be requested by contacting the UC Santa Barbara Police Department at (805) 893-3446 or 574 Public Safety Bldg., Santa Barbara, CA 93106 during business hours.

The University issues two types of campus alerts: Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications. Timely Warnings are sent for Clery-reportable crimes that are determined to be a serious or continuing threat to the campus community. Emergency Notifications have a wider focus than Timely Warnings and are issued for any significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of the campus community. Students, staff, and faculty can register and update their contact information for these alerts at alert.ucsb.edu. Everyone is encouraged to register their cell phone number so that they can receive text message alerts in addition to emails.

Campus safety is a collaborative effort that involves the entire community. The University encourages victims, witnesses, and community members who are made aware of crimes to report all incidents to the UC Santa Barbara Police Department at (805) 893-3446. To learn more about the Clery Act, please visit www.police.ucsb.edu/clery-act.
