The Department of Economics Fund for Excellence
The Department of Economics Fund for Excellence plays a crucial role in the overall effort to strengthen the department and its impact on the campus. As the only source of unrestricted funding available, the Fund provides much-appreciated support for academic and faculty/student life programs in the Department of Economics. With this Fund, the Department Chair has the flexibility to support important programs and initiatives when other sources of funding are not available or are inadequate to fulfill the need.
The Fund is a new and vital resource that is used as needed to sustain excellent faculty, launch new ventures, enrich and enliven student's experiences, expand activities and foster a tradition of excellence. Examples of programs and initiatives that may be supported by the Fund include student scholarships, new faculty/student research, conferences, events and priorities that advance the mission and vision of the department. A gift to this Fund - your gift - has a direct and immediate impact on the Department. Please know that gifts of any amount are appreciated and are truly needed to sustain the intellectual vitality of the UC Santa Barbara Department of Economics.
