Conducting water management research in Chile. Improving food security with women farmers in Nepal. Connecting with refugee communities in Sacramento. In every college and school at UC Davis, our faculty are conducting multidisciplinary research and service projects around the world.

These scholars need a solid foundation of support, so that they can continue to experiment with bold new ideas, sustain thriving research collaborations, and make decisive progress on the economic, social and environmental issues that we all face.

With gifts to support endowed chairs and professorships, partnerships with international universities, and centers that link UC Davis to the world, we can elevate faculty as they pursue their research goals locally and globally—and in turn, elevate UC Davis’ visibility and engagement around the world.

Students are seeking spaces beyond the classroom where they can easily interact, collaborate and learn from each other. So we are re-envisioning the environments where UC Davis students learn—the places where global education happens—from virtual classrooms and residential living-learning communities, to informal interactions with peers at campus events and technology-driven creative spaces.

Our vision for a reimagined campus includes expanding learning opportunities for more students through virtual, flexible tools, while simultaneously bringing more learners into retrofitted campus spaces for connection, collaboration and career development.

We anticipate that these new learning spaces will continue to play a key role in global education and career preparation well into the future.

With your support, Global Affairs will make a rich, intercultural education available to every UC Davis student.
