Dear Volunteer Leaders:

Thank you for your commitment and dedicated leadership on behalf of UC Davis. Volunteers like you were critical to the outstanding success of our recently concluded Expect Greater campaign and remain integral to our continued growth as we look toward the future.

Together with those who share our vision for a better world, we are redefining expectations for what a great public research university can achieve. Your volunteer leadership is key to propelling our core strengths to new heights—inspiring bigger ideas, bolder solutions and a brighter future for the planet we all call home.

We are grateful for your generous investment of time, energy and resources in shaping the future of UC Davis—which, in turn, will shape a brighter future for our world. As we celebrate the completion of the most comprehensive and ambitious campaign in our history, we also look forward to our work ahead. Thank you for joining us in meeting that future together.

Sincerely,

The 2024 UC Davis Annual Report

In 2024, UC Davis made tremendous advances and achieved welcome recognition. According to the Wall Street Journal, UC Davis is the third-ranked public university in the country for setting students up for financial success and the 12th-ranked university overall. We became eligible for designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, demonstrating our efforts to bridge disparities in higher education. Find these accomplishments and more in the annual report. When Aggies work together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.
