Gauchos, it’s our turn to speak up! 📣

The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) is fueled by us, for us. For just $3.47 a quarter, we’ve been able to fund incredible research, internships, and green tech right here at UCSB.

Don’t let the progress stop. Head to GOLD between April 20-23 and cast your vote to reaffirm the fund. It takes 30 seconds to help protect our campus for the next four years. ✅
