The Gaucho Underground Scholars (GUS) Program works to build a prison-to-school pipeline through recruitment, retention, and advocacy. GUS is designed to be an academic support program currently housed within Student Engagement & Leadership (SEAL) within the Division of Student Affairs at UC Santa Barbara. The Coordinator (with the support of campus partners) will define system-impacted as a person who is legally, economically, or familially affected in a negative way by the incarceration of a close relative. System-impacted also includes people who have been arrested and/or convicted without incarceration.
