In 2013-2014, the UCSB campus faced a series of incidents, culminating in an off-campus shooting. With applications falling, UCSB had to put its best face forward to attract students. In Kyle's research on content strategy at UCSB Admissions, he found that UCSB didn't so much rebrand as rediscover who they really were all along: a community.

Ben will give a brief description of an interesting topological construction which motivates part of his research and connects algebraic structures with geometric symmetries. No prior knowledge will be necessary.


This event will be moderated by Shawn Warner-Garcia, Graduate Division's Professional Development Program Coordinator.
