History

The Herbert C. Kay Undergraduate Lecture was established at the University of California, Santa Barbara to feature a dynamic business pioneer who will inspire UCSB undergraduates to become the entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow.

Herbert C. Kay taught in the UCSB Department of Economics in the 1960s and is now a successful private investor in Los Angeles. Herb Kay’s former students cite his inspiration as a major factor in the development of their own successful careers. To honor Herb Kay, and to affirm the importance of undergraduate education at UCSB, a group of alumni, faculty and friends of the Department of Economics collaborate to identify each year’s distinguished speaker.
