UCSB was extremely proud to be selected by NJBIZ as one of its #EmpoweringWomen Honorees a few weeks ago. What does empowering women mean to us? In the words of our EVP & CFO Chris McFadden, “We empower women by hiring the best, most qualified person for the job, no matter their gender. Knowing you’ve been hired solely on your merit, gives every individual the ability to lead, make decisions and create positive change with confidence—and that’s true empowerment.”
