THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US ON OUR 7TH ANNUAL GIVE DAY! CLICK HERE TO STILL MAKE A GIFT!
Division of Student Affairs
Support student success!

A gift to the Division of Student Affairs on Give Day is a gift to student success. Supporting Student Affairs makes it possible for our students to have a fulfilling experience at UC Davis and has reverberating effects on the lives of Aggies beyond their college years.

Supporting the Division of Student Affairs on Give Day means you are continuing and expanding the resources and experiences we offer to students that enrich their lives on campus and into the future. 

We are focused on programs, services, facilities and resources that support:

Fostering Healthy Living and Wellness 

Fostering holistic student health and well-being ensures that all students have access to tailored resources that strengthen resilience and wellness, no matter what challenges they face. This includes support for ensuring basic needs are met, maintaining mental, emotional and physical health, and meeting the needs of neurodiverse students and students with disabilities.

Strengthening Equity and Inclusion

Community-based initiatives advance equity and inclusion by leveling the playing field for students of all backgrounds and valuing the unique cultures and perspectives they bring to the university. We are committed to enriching the lives of our students who have had limited access to opportunity prior to UC Davis.

Propelling Change Makers in Every Field

Student Affairs is actively engaged in promoting professional development opportunities and preparing highly qualified graduates for the careers of tomorrow. Helping students build on the momentum that began at UC Davis to launch successful, fulfilling careers is a key priority accomplished by providing meaningful employment opportunities within the university, as well as targeted financial support to pursue unpaid career development activities.

Your gift, no matter the amount, creates a positive and meaningful impact.
