Did you know there are nearly fifty Aggie Traditions you can participate in during your undergrad experience? Students who complete all of these traditions become eligible for a traditions medal to wear at graduation. While it might feel daunting to tackle them all, we’ve put together a list of events happening this month to help you get started. These events can get you started on your traditions and enhance your understanding of what makes UC Davis such a unique and special place!
In an effort to most effectively reach students with timely UC Davis WarnMe and Aggie Alert messages, in the 2024-25 academic year the university will add to its emergency notification system the phone numbers of all registered students. We are instituting this change as one of several recent enhancements to campus safety efforts.
At UC Davis, did you know that there’s a map for that? On campus, almost everything you can think of has one! Whether it’s nap spots, water stations or menstrual products, you can find them with the help of an accessible, online campus map. Keep reading to see what you can find!
With the start of the new academic year, I wanted to take a moment to talk about two important topics—accessibility and UC Davis brand standards.
We must ensure that all of our channels are following ADA requirements and meeting accessibility standards so that all UC Davis students are being supported and have an equal opportunity to access the many resources and services offered by the division. While it is the right thing to do, it is also the law.
If there’s one constant on the UC Davis campus, it’s bikes! With the start of every new school year comes the need to review the key rules, tips and tricks that will help you make the most of your biking experience here at Davis.
Hey Aggies! My name is Robin Dewis, and I’ve been the editorial and content creation assistant here at Student Affairs Marketing and Communications (SAMC) for the past 3 years. That basically means that I write some of the stuff in the emails you get from the school. More specifically, it means that I’ve been drafting and compiling content for the UC Davis Life email newsletter, interviewing students for Aggie Voices, and probably my most frequent and consistent task, updating the Updater tile on your myucdavis portal.
Spring quarter can be overwhelming, with everything from midterms to finals to end-of-the-year responsibilities. Don’t forget to take care of yourself throughout all of your hard work! Relax in between study sessions or plan a day out with your friends with these fun, springtime activities.
Did you know that the UC Davis Library houses Picnic Day history dating back to the very first one? Digitized programs and pictures have immortalized this student-run event for good, creating a treasure trove of campus history for Aggies to enjoy. We’ve picked out some of our favorite photos and put them alongside fond memories from recent Picnic Days, keep scrolling to enjoy and reminisce!
Please join me in sending gratitude and congratulations to our very own Cory Vu, Associate Vice Chancellor of Health, Wellness and Divisional Resources as he embarks on a new professional journey at UC Berkeley. Cory will serve as their Associate Vice Chancellor of Health and Wellbeing effective July 1.
When you’re spending time at the library prepping for finals, give yourself a much needed break and check out these lesser known benefits the library has to offer. From charging lockers to free streaming music and movies, Shields has you covered!
We heard the love last year, so celebrate this year's Valentine’s Day with even more shareable Valentine's cards! These UC Davis-themed pick-up lines will help you spread the love, whether it’s a special someone, your study group or your best friends.
The cards are optimized for Instagram stories, but share them anywhere:
Global events continue to cause direct or indirect trauma to our students, faculty and staff. In the midst of this conflict, while we’ve seen many members of our community express support, we’re also receiving reports of extreme and hateful speech made by members of our UC Davis student community. These statements are harmful and actively create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
You might have noticed a new art installation in the CoHo? As part of the Aggie Mental Health campaign (AMH), UC Davis launched a contest to find a student artist/designer to create a piece that helps to reduce the stigma of mental health, foster community conversation and encourage students to seek out resources.
The beginning of a new school year can be a whirlwind, and the quarter system guarantees things move fast. Before you know it, it’s midterms—not long after that, finals. If this is how it’s feeling, here are some tips to help you thrive and enjoy student life, avoid burnout and get in tune with the pace of the UC Davis academic quarter.
