Calling first-year students (freshmen and transfers)

A CAES college-wide workgroup is hoping to learn more about your experiences and stories of students in your first year at Davis. They want to hear about your experience whether you came straight from high school, transferred from a community college, had your first-year in-person or were online! The valuable feedback that you share will help improve programs and access to resources for future first-year students.

Make your voices heard! Improve the college transition for future Aggies!

This focus group will meet via Zoom on Monday, May 17th from 3-4pm. Selected participants will receive a $5 Amazon gift card in appreciation of their time. If you are interested, please see the attached flyer and complete the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/hYa4e981stuh6ZFL6

YOU DID IT! Welcome to UC Davis Transfer Class of 2023!

Are you looking to make a lasting impact on UC Davis? First-Year Aggie Connections (FYAC) is seeking Peer Mentors for Fall 2021 who are interested in helping new Aggies transition to UC Davis. With the support of a faculty/staff facilitator, FYAC Peer Mentors design and implement social campus engagement programming for small groups (“Connections”) of new UC Davis students.

Peer Mentors will be expected to work about 20 hours for the quarter and will be paid a stipend based on the number of hours they have worked for FYAC. Students interested in building their professionalism, developing communication skills, supporting new students, hosting events, being a leader virtually, working with a diverse group of peers, and making lasting connections to UC Davis should apply. For more information on the position go to: Handshake job #4254236.

Please apply externally!

Welcome back Aggies, it’s the first day of Spring Quarter!

If you are wondering what you can do in support of our API community, you can also be an "UPSTANDER." Three things you can do to stand up against acts of hate, bias and bigotry:

1) Intervene
2) Delegate
3) Distract
