Academic Initiatives

INT 95 courses are designed to introduce first-generation college students to the research university environment and resources available at UCSB. It examines the mission of the modern research university and introduces Promise Scholars and other first-gen students to the different kinds of work that faculty and staff are engaged in at UCSB, from the administration of the University to faculty research and the production of creative projects. Lead by Academic Initiatives Director Mark Shishim.
