Our mission is to create a world class collaboration that supports UCSB Esteem Scholars and the California STEM community. Our group includes University of California, Santa Barbara Engineering Esteem Scholars, STEM students, faculty, alumni, STEM education mentors and Tri-County STEM innovators, and STEM supporters. Anyone interested in creating excellence in ESTEEM-UCSB, and building resources and opportunities for Esteem Scholars is invited to participate.

Dear all,

We are very pleased to announce that the first cohort of ESTEEM Scholars has been selected, on the combined bases of academic merit and significant financial need, for juniors and seniors majoring in Engineering who are first-generation college students. The ESTEEM Scholars for 2012 are: Behzad Anbarani, ChE Antonio Ortiz, ChE Katherine Santizo, ChE Victoria Melero, EE Roberto Ortega, EE Sandra Skendzic, EE Alfredo Torres, EE Jarad George, ME Ryan Helling, ME Yin-Tsun Lam, ME Jenny Lei, ME ( the competition for the 2012-2013 academic year will open in Spring 2012.)

More information about the program is available in the attachment, and on our website: http://engineering.ucsb.edu/current_undergraduates/scholarships/esteem.php

We will recognize the students' achievements and potential in a ceremony on February 24th at 3:00 pm. This event will also serve to kick off the program. The location is the dedicated ESTEEM room in Building 489 (trailer behind the Chemistry building). Please join us to congratulate this group of students who are succeeding against extraordinary odds. Please RSVP to Carrie Kuffel (kuffel@chem.ucsb.edu) so that we can accurately anticipate the turnout. We hope to see you there!
