About UCSB
The University of California, Santa Barbara became a member of the prestigious University of California system in 1944 and in little more than half of
a century has become an internationally renowned center for teaching and research. The University of California multi-campus system encompasses
10 campus locations throughout California, five medical centers, three Department of Energy national laboratories and the UC headquarters office in Oakland. Distinguished for its interdisciplinary programs and commitment to excellence and innovation, UCSB offers over 25,000 students a comprehensive array of undergraduate majors and graduate programs through three colleges, two professional schools and the Graduate Division.

UCSB's unique features - which include its residential character, its stunning ocean side setting at the foot of the Santa Ynez Mountains, its location on the edge of the Pacific Rim, just 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles yet removed from urban pressures - together create a rich environment
where living and learning are intertwined. To learn more about UCSB, please visit ucsb.edu.

About CAPS
The mission of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is to assist Student Affairs and the University in helping the student body achieve
academically, socially, and personally through culturally responsive mental health services. CAPS is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and
affirming environment to ensure that all students remain psychologically healthy in pursuit of their goals. We value Inclusion, Collaboration,
Compassion, and Impact. Our objective is to help in the creation and maintenance of a healthy campus environment. We educate, support, advocate
and help foster a culture of acceptance and appreciation of human differences.

CAPS is a diverse counseling center with a diverse leadership team. The department and its Director are committed to the continual growth of our
staff in their professional development as well as the awareness and knowledge of social justice issues. Openness and dialogue are important in the
department, as are flexibility and collaboration with other areas of Student Affairs and the campus community. CAPS leadership feels that it is our
ethical obligation to meet the holistic needs of our diverse student body with cultural competency and humility.
The position of Counseling Psychologist grew out of the activism of the Black Student Union in 2013. In addition to being a counseling psychologist,
the position would foster and maintain collaborative relationships within the CAPS department and other areas within Student Affairs, such as the
Office of Black Student Development. Along with supporting Black student success, the Counseling Psychologist will have the opportunity to
strengthen the department’s overall public mental health and community programming. To learn more about CAPS, please visit caps.sa.ucsb.edu.
