From Harder Stadium to the World Stage! ⚽

We're proud to see our very own alum Michael Boxall taking the field at the World Cup TODAY. A Gaucho record holder and 2010 Big West Champion, Boxall is the second Gaucho Men's Soccer alumnus selected to play for the All Whites at a World Cup, joining Tony Lochhead, who started all three games for New Zealand at the 2010 tournament. Go Gauchos!

While you'll be leaving UC Santa Barbara, know that you'll also be joining generations of Gauchos connected by the same IV sunsets, bike rides through campus, and late nights in the library. Whether you’re looking for career resources, fun social events, bucket-list travel opportunities, or exclusive alumni benefits and discounts, your community is here to support you every step of the way.

Once a Gaucho, always a Gaucho 💙💛

Long before guiding corporate leaders at Electronic Arts, Annalyn Cruz ’00 was guiding her peers through campus life at UCSB.

Drawing from her UCSB experience as a CAPS Stress Management Peer, an Orientation Staff member, and a leader in Anacapa Student Government, Annalyn learned the psychology of high-functioning teams and how to guide people through complex transitions.

She spent the next decade bringing those skills into the HR and Learning & Development space for both higher ed and corporate teams. After a year of preparation, she left the security of the corporate world to bet on herself to focus entirely on her true passion: coaching.

Today, Annalyn is an independent Leadership and Executive Coach and the founder of Grounded In Wisdom. Through her company, she empowers women and BIPOC leaders to overcome self-doubt, tap into their inner wisdom, and successfully rebuild, advance, or completely transition their careers.

Image description: Annalyn Cruz '00, with long, dark hair, wearing a white top and earrings. Overlaid text reads: "As a leadership and executive coach, Annalyn empowers individuals to align their identity, purpose, and career through self-reflection and growth. She was a part of Residence Hall Student Government, Orientation Staff, a Counseling and Psychological Services Stress Management Peer, and Resident Coordinator for Apartment Living."
