UC Davis Graduate Studies has selected four UC Davis professors and their students as the recipients of this year's Wakeham Mentoring Fellowships, an honor given to faculty and their mentees to support the exploration of mentoring best practices. 

Today (September 27), UCPath went live for UC Davis and UC Davis Health employees. As such, Graduate Studies has compiled a set of instructions that graduate students and postdoctoral scholars should use to verify the accuracy of their employee data in the new system.

The time has come, prospective Aggies!

Earlier today (September 17), UC Davis Graduate Studies officially launched the online graduate application for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Brittani Orona is one of twenty environmental scholars chosen as 2019 recipients of the Switzer Environmental Fellowship, a program of the Robert and Patricia Switzer Foundation. 

When UCPath goes live this fall, students who are hired at 43.75 percent time or more for at least 3 months will be eligible to opt for a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DepCare FSA).

If you’re not familiar with it, the DepCare FSA is used to pay for eligible caregiving expenses for your children up to age 13 or an eligible adult dependent. You set aside money for your DepCare FSA from your paycheck on a pre-tex basis and use those funds to pay for eligible DepCare expenses. Here are some details on how the plan works.

Some students are drawn to careers in medicine because of a passion for science, health and the human body. Others pursue medicine because of a deep desire to improve the lives of others through quality patient care.

Hannah Stafford, a Ph.D. student in environmental engineering and a part-time researcher with the Policy Institute for Energy, Environment and the Economy, is set to appear on 'Jeopardy!" on July 9.
