SANTA BARBARA Office of the Chancellor Santa Barbara, CA 93106-2030 http://www.chancellor.ucsb.edu

Dear Students:

On behalf of our UC Santa Barbara community, it brings me great joy to welcome our new and returning students to the 2015-16 academic year. We are thrilled to have you with us on campus, and we are excited to help nurture your academic strengths, encourage your personal growth, and inspire your creativity.

As students, you are the cornerstone of our campus community and our partners in advancing UC Santa Barbara’s stature as a preeminent world-class research university. Our campus continually earns top rankings in many national and international reports, in terms of our academic quality, diversity, and environmental sustainability. Just this month, our campus was once again ranked among the Top 10 public universities in the country by U.S. News & World Report. And last month, Times Higher Education published an article ranking UC Santa Barbara No. 7 worldwide for producing Nobel laureates in the 21st century. Six of our faculty members have won Nobel Prizes, and one of our alumnae is also among the distinguished roster of Nobel laureates.

As our returning students already know, learning at UC Santa Barbara extends far beyond the classroom. We also learn a great deal from each other. We encourage our students — and all members of our academic community — to be full participants in the free and open exchange of ideas and viewpoints that characterizes our university. We commit ourselves to upholding the values we cherish as an academic institution, and to fostering an atmosphere that is respectful, supportive, and welcoming to all. The diversity of our backgrounds, talents, and perspectives will continue to enrich us all as we live and learn together.

There are countless ways for you to get involved and make connections with each other, such as through research and creative projects, student government, campus organizations, intercollegiate athletics and intramural sports, volunteer work in our community, and much more. I encourage you to take advantage of all that UC Santa Barbara has to offer during your time here.

As our campus is closely connected with our surrounding neighborhoods, I also encourage you to engage with our community as good neighbors and good stewards.

We are proud to have you as part of our UC Santa Barbara family, and my wife, Dilling, and I look forward to seeing you on campus.

Sincerely,

Henry T. Yang Chancellor 4 Thursday, September 17, 2015 News Daily Nexus An Update on Alagie Jammeh’s Story The ostricized student tells the Nexus how his situation has evolved since this July

A report on state-run Saudi Arabian radio announced Tuesday that Saudi Arabia’s King issued a decree to halt all Saudi Binladin Group construc- tion projects throughout the kingdom until a full investigation of the deadly crane collapse at the Grand Mosque in Mecca last week can be com- pleted.

ON [email protected] MENU Eating Around the World in San Diego Taylor Nguyen Staff Writer It’s around noon on a Saturday, I am feeling ravenous and I can’t decide what to eat for lunch. My mind wanders off to the south of Africa for curried chicken and stewed lentils. My mouth waters at the notion of handcrafted pappardelle generously tossed in a lamb ragù. My belly growls for a large bowl of ramen noodles bathing in a spicy miso broth. In an idyllic world, I would hop on my private jet with my empty stomach and cross the seas to indulge in the many delicacies of the world. A light pastry and coffee in Paris, endless sushi in Tokyo, vibrant paella in Spain … all dreams dashed by the limitations of my ol’ 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. Luckily for its residents, San Diego has grown into an ever-expanding hub of different cultures. This means that eager foodies, like myself, get to enjoy the traditional gems of many different countries. Here are just a few of my favorite culinary destinations. If you want to explore Japan, dine at Rakiraki: One of my all-time favorite dishes of Japanese cuisine is ramen. No, it is nothing like the prepackaged, processed noodles that sell for a buck ninety-nine. I am talking about noodles prepared delicately to a perfect al dente simmering in liquid gold. This spot is crowded at every hour of every day. Though you are going to have to squeeze into your seat or try out the community table, the locals know that the food is worth it. The broth is made from pork that cooks down for at least 12 hours for ultimate richness, and their special spicy miso paste gives a savory, hot kick. Additions of chashu pork, soft-boiled eggs and seaweed add complexity to each bowl.
