Comfort Week
Finals week is just around the corner. To make study breaks more fun for our students, UC Davis Dining Services will be hosting Comfort Week from March 18-22. All three dining commons will be serving a variety of student-favorite comfort food throughout the week.

Summer Start
Congratulations to the newly admitted class of 2023! International and multilingual freshmen of the new incoming class are invited to Summer Start, a six-week, intensive academic program from August 2 to September 14, 2019. Summer Start builds the foundations for academic success through access to university experts and faculty, high-demand and high-interest coursework and interactive activities that build relationships and intercultural communication skills. When fall begins, Summer Start students are closer to completing their degrees. They have the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to succeed and a network of colleagues to support them so they can thrive at UC Davis. An impressive 97% of students in 2018 recommended the program.
