Holistic U 2026

Holistic U 2026 is a vibrant, in-person orientation for new graduate students to build meaningful connections across disciplines, cultures, and communities prior to the start of the academic year.

Join fellow incoming students for a day of engaging conversations about topics that are central to the graduate student experience that include navigating graduate school, unconscious bias, impostor syndrome, wellness, belonging and academic success. You'll also learn about campus resources, practical strategies for thriving in your first year, and opportunities to build a strong support network.

Whether you're looking to make new friends across campus, expand your professional network beyond your department or gain tools to help you succeed, Holistic U is a welcoming space to start your graduate journey at UC Davis. All new graduate students are encouraged to attend. Register HERE!
