We're proud of our inaugural class of Business Major students—many have jumped right into campus life and made the most of their first year through networking and career building opportunities. This quarter, the newly formed student-run Davis Business Collective (DBC) gained 1:1 time with three UC Davis alumni working in executive finance roles.

Thank you to Joncarlo Mark MBA 00, founder of Upwelling Capital Group; Shane Ryan, associate at Upwelling Capital Group; and Nate Whaley MBA 01, CFO at In-Shape Family Fitness for sharing your time and expertise with this aspiring group. Wonderful to welcome you back to campus!

All majors are welcome to attend DBC events when they reconvene this fall. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gw8_bNVr
