In mid-2009, the College of Letters and Science launched a redesigned
web page with a new URL: www.college.ucsb.edu. The site is designed for several different audiences, including current and prospective students, alumni, and faculty and staff. It includes feature stories about faculty and students, which are updated periodically, and links to current news stories about faculty research, which are updated several times a week, and also archived.
