UC Davis Give Day 2023

Each year, fresh waves of excellence carry UC Davis Law to new heights. Exceptional first-year classes, celebrated faculty and innovative programs produce wonderful ripple effects like national recognition for our diversity focus and record jobs success.

Join us and support any of our incredible challenge gifts! Together, we can set records for the greater good in one communal day of giving.
