At the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, students embody the UC Davis tradition of changing the world for the better by:
- Breaking ground and inspiring discovery;
- Accelerating innovation;
- Solving global business challenges;
- Creating a legacy; and
- Building a sustainable future.
As a university, we know that when we provide an environment for our students to chase their dreams, we catalyze a process of personal growth that has a lifelong impact.
That is why your gift, no matter the size, can have a tremendous influence on our students’ experiences. Your gift can provide much-needed assistance to the next generation of inspired, results-driven and innovative leaders who are committed to making a positive impact.
When you support the GSM, you provide our students with the resources they need to become a leader and to represent UC Davis with honor and true Aggie Pride.
