• ⚪ Volunteer for commencement

• Help celebrate our students, while getting a free t-shirt, water bottle and crossbody bag, by scanning tickets, handing out programs, directing students to and from the stage or filling another important role as a volunteer. Sign up for any (or every) ceremony, and plan to arrive before 5 a.m.

• ⚪ Avoid driving to campus during commencement

• Due to traffic and parking congestion during commencement, consider working remotely — or if you have to be onsite, biking, busing or carpooling — on June 10 - 12. Learn more about how campus is encouraging a car-free commencement.

• ⚪ Peruse the Staff Experience Survey results

• Check out how UC Davis performed in key areas of engagement and cultivating a positive working environment, including scores reflecting that most staff members feel their work is meaningful, well-suited to their strengths and flexible.  Supervisors and managers can access their individual dashboard for local results.

Get to know our newest CORE officers

Officers Ricky Lee and Tabbasum Malik first connected with the campus police department as students themselves — one while working as a barista and the other through the kindness of the UC Davis community toward his newly immigrated family. Both are now eager to give back to their fellow Aggies as CORE officers, a position designed to give the UC Davis community an easy, informal way to find assistance from the police department. Read their stories.
