UC Santa Barbara will host ParalympicsGB ahead of the L.A. 2028 Paralympic Games. The team’s Preparation Camp at UCSB is expected to be one of its largest ever. A contract signing was held on campus Friday, November 21.
“This partnership is a profound opportunity,” said UC Santa Barbara Chancellor Dennis Assanis. “It allows us to open our doors and our facilities to some of the planet’s most inspiring athletes. It is a chance for our students, or staff and our community to witness their preparation firsthand. It is a moment for us to champion inclusion, access and the high performance that defines the Paralympic movement.
