Don Bushnell Celebrates 90th Birthday with Alumni and Graduates

influential in the development of Fielding culture. He is an active contributor to the Institute for Social Innovation. Many of Bushnell’s local friends also attended, donating in honor of his birthday to Fielding’s Bushnell Endowed Scholarship for Organizational and Social Change.
Fielding Flags in Santa Barbara
During Winter Session in Santa Barbara, 130 Fielding flags flew in downtown Santa Barbara as part of the State Street Flag Program. Offered as a form of public art and a way to celebrate local organizations the flags inform both locals and the town’s countless visitors of the area’s rich cultural heritage.
We were delighted to have been represented by three images of proud graduates.
