The First Year Experience is a 9-course follow-up to your New Employee Orientation. The FYE will help you navigate your first year as UC Santa Barbara staff and will invite you to explore the vast opportunities and support services available to YOU and your newly hired colleagues.

Join us monthly via Zoom and get to know fellow newbie‘s and trusted facilitators from across our campus community!

Although this program was created with a new employee in mind, these learning experiences have proven to be useful at all levels and are open to all staff.
