The Alpha Beta chapter of Sigma Chi Eta has an active student membership in the Communication Department at Santa Barbara City College and is led by a team of elected student officers under the leadership of the Faculty Adviser. Alpha Beta chapter works to develop events and opportunities that motivate, inform, and inspire Communication students. We also have the goal of stimulating our members to incorporate their Communication skills to positively impact our local community on campus at SBCC, the larger Santa Barbara city region and beyond. One major area of focus for the Alpha Beta chapter is service learning where students are given opportunities to apply what they are learning in the field of Communication to solve real world problems. As our mission reflects, we are committed to empowering our student members to become socially-conscious leaders who care about the needs of others and who can express themselves with both passion and civility.
