Alumni, parents, friends, Trustees of The UCSB Foundation, corporations, and foundations who have contributed $100,000 or more to the university over time are recognized as members of the Lancaster Society. Through their commitment and leadership, these distinguished members of the Lancaster Society have helped build the university's reputation for teaching, research, and public service.

The Society is named for Louis and Winifred Lancaster, civic-minded philanthropists deeply committed to the public partnership that is the heart of UCSB. During their lifetimes, they helped establish The UCSB Foundation and the Chancellor's Council, and worked tirelessly to build meaningful bridges between the university and the larger community.

Their vision is sustained through the loyal generosity of today's members of the Lancaster Society, celebrated for their immeasurable contribution to an enduring foundation for excellence at UCSB.
