UC Santa Barbara Economics

Giving


While research and education is the foundation of any good university department, the symbiotic relationship between faculty and student cannot take place without the infrastructure of the department in place. To fulfill the mission of the department, we must move forward with technology and expand on the bricks and mortar of this fine institution.

It is gifts like this that makes it possible for the Department of Economics to better educate its students, communicate with its intellectual peers, and thereby fulfill the ultimate mission of the department.

Current named infrastructure funds in the department are:

  1. The Thormahlen Family Seminar Room

If you are interested in making a named infrastructure donation to the Economics department, please contact Michael Miller at giving@econ.ucsb.edu or (805) 893-3992.

You can also make a tax-deductible donation to the Departmental Infrastructure Fund. This fund supports a variety of equipment and renovation needs. Much of the department's physical plant and furniture in North Hall is aging, and the technology of instruction is changing very rapidly. Contributions to this fund help keep our physical plant attractive to students and visitors, and our instructional technology up to date.
