Elizabeth Sturdy,  Director of Mentoring and Academic Success Initiatives in Graduate Studies, has been selected as one of six Davis Campus recipients for the inaugural Chancellor’s Outstanding Staff Awards for Exceptional University Management and Exceptional University Impact!

In the roughly five years that Elizabeth has served in her current role, she has pioneered Graduate Studies’ mentor and mentee training and development as well as elevated the Systemwide (and even national) role that UC Davis plays in the graduate education mentorship space.
