Introduction:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The A.S. Living History Project\u00a0was begun this year by Living History Project Coordinator and former A.S. President Mahader Tesfai. The project includes\u00a0the\u00a0<\/a>A.S.

About the Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This site will bring together stories and remembrances about the political impact\/role students at UCSB have played in shaping the campus throughout the years. \u00a0Showcasing and celebrating the history of ASUCSB through collected oral history interviews, photographs, radio archives, and other resources.<\/p>\n

Implementation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with students, staff, faculty, and community members the project’s goal is to create a broad historical timeline of the history of student activism to which participants can add their personal experiences. \u00a0The timeline will inform the\u00a0interactive website\u00a0of the ASUCSB Living History Project. An example of a dynamic timeline can be seen by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a focus on historical moments relevant to ASUCSB, the project will combine audio, visual, and text-based information coming from various sources, including \u00a0University archives, KCSB, AS documents, personal interviews, etc. to create an online tactical timeline.<\/p>\n

This timeline will include the following:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Text elements on different historical moments<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Links to related articles and online projects<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Historical photos, videos, and audio<\/p>\n

Vision:<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the main ideas pushing this project is the notion of building a collaborative history together. The purpose of this project is to create context for one of the most pressing issues in student governance, which is the lack of continuity, planning, and understanding of issues and programs from one year to another.\u00a0 Over the years this has resulted in duplication of efforts, work, and planning.<\/p>\n

Understanding A.S.’s role and impact on student well-being at UCSB and how it has developed over the years is a step towards strengthening students’ effectiveness and their ability to promote change on the campus.<\/p>\n

This project is a great opportunity to build and strengthen ties between Associated Students, the general student body, the UCSB administration and faculty, and the Santa Barbara community at large.<\/p>\n

The project is designed to teach students that they can be their own historians and empower their community and themselves personally by writing and documenting their own history. It’s critical for students and the association as a whole to present what we want the rest of the campus and world to know about ASUCSB!<\/p>\n
