Department of Special Research Collections (SRC) in the UCSB Library) with consideration of the group's founding scope statement:

"The UC Santa Barbara Library has agreed to preserve and make accessible historical materials related to the tragedy of May 23, 2014 in the Department of Special Collections. To accomplish this goal, two library representatives are working with the Ad-Hoc Memorial Preservation Group to identify, acquire, preserve, and describe materials related to the incident. The group has been actively collecting two types of materials in both digital and physical formats: 1) a representative sample of condolence items and 2) records documenting the University's response to the event. The first meeting of the Ad-Hoc Group was held on June 13, 2014. Since that date the membership has expanded so that the group has representatives of campus administration, the Library, the faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and UCSB Alumni."

While the collection is now processed and subject to the collection practices of the Department of Special Research Collections, this group may be involved in activities to further engage faculty, staff, and community members in continuing memorialization and in educational engagement activities related to the tragedy and the memorial collection.

The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders (also known as CMG) is an educator about and an advocate for women, non-binary, and trans* rights, with a commitment to representing and improving the status of women, non-binary, and trans* folks on campus and in the community. The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders is working toward becoming a diverse group of members reflecting the different voices of the campus and community.

The A.S. Commission for Marginalized Genders must constantly redefine itself if it is going to actively try to recognize how women's, non-binary, and trans* issues function within the intersections of race, class, age, sexual orientation, religion, culture, and physical and mental ability. Recognizing this means that we acknowledge that one group can never represent the voices of all women, non-binary, and trans* across these intersections. Therefore, we must look beyond the Commission for Marginalized Genders and into the campus and community. Lastly, as a Board and as a Commission, to carry on the events of the Annual Womxn Unite Banquet.

IVCRC accomplishes these missions by serving as a funding and planning source for projects that promote community relations. In other words, we give money to people and organizations so that they can do cool stuff with it, and we come up with our own events too—at least one per non-summer quarter. Projects we fund and plan must include non-student residents in Isla Vista, so events and programs cannot only be open to students.

Our relevant affairs include safety, police/community relations, landlord/tenant relations, emergency and vehicle access in Isla Vista, parking, and county/university funding for Isla Vista programs and services. IVCRC also collaborates with the Office of the External Vice President for Local Affairs (EVPLA).

BSU seeks to identify relevant issues and initiate appropriate action in order to reduce or eliminate any impediments believed to be adverse to students and their continued well being and matriculation. BSU aims to create a safe, supportive and inclusive Black student community, by providing opportunities for all students to increase awareness of Black culture with an emphasis on Black social, political, and intellectual traditions. The BSU will serve its community through educational, cultural, and social programs/activities which relate to the past, present, and future goals and aspirations of Black people. Furthermore, the BSU works to ensure the continuing development of a academic and social environment that is conducive to Black students in their quest to obtain a quality and meaningful education. The BSU challenges its membership to actively address political, social and cultural injustices that impact not only the Black community of Santa Barbara, but members of the Diaspora as a whole. While acknowledging and celebrating our people's greatness, we recognize our responsibility in bettering the condition of the Diaspora as a whole and extending ourselves to the greater community that lacks access to the resources of a UC. We stand for the human rights of all Black people, and all people, at UCSB, and across the globe. In working towards raising the level of Black self and social consciousness within our community, we will enable our people to pursue their Black identity, a sense of Black self-determination, and the right to obtain an adequate education.

The Brain Exercise Initiative is a student run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses math, reading and writing as a form of cognitive development for the elderly. It is found that simple math exercises and reading aloud for just 30 minutes a day 5 days a week can have a positive impact on memory for those with Alzheimer's. This is currently being done extensively in Japan. It was discovered by a Japanese neuroscientist, Ryuta Kawashima, and consists of math exercises and reading aloud of short stories. Done for just 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, improvements in Alzheimer's patients have been observed. It is currently being done in 1,400 care homes with 15,000 Alzheimer's patients across Japan and has had great success. Many individuals showed improvements in communication and behavior. Some went from being bedridden to sitting in a chair or walking. Some showed improvement in controlling their bowel movement. Additionally, they began to feel happier. In order for the program to be successful, the exercises must be done on a regular basis. The brain exercises must be offered multiple times a week and on schedule. It is for this reason that we must have reliable volunteers who understand and appreciate the importance of our work.
