Thank you, FOA! Add a critter to your work this winter
As we wrap up 2025, pause to delight in campus critters, your strengths and original artwork from UC Davis colleagues
Dear FOA team,
As we close out another year of meaningful work, I want to express my gratitude for all that you contribute to UC Davis. Sometimes our work seems behind-the-scenes, but the impact of FOA’s efforts are felt across the university, in ways big and small, every single day.
To help lighten your heart amid this end-of-year bustle, here’s a short quiz that highlights the wide range of talents across FOA. Just for fun, this quiz matches your winter-break work style to one of our beloved campus animals, illustrated by six FOA artists with a variety of styles to reflect the many strengths that keep our teams running.
What type of FOA Critter Colleague are you? Take the quiz!
I’m curious to hear how you fit into our FOA Critter Crew! I know our teams are resilient and resourceful, steady and curious. But are you more likely to scamper, perch, nestle or dash along through winter?
Hope you enjoy and share a smile along the way.
With good cheer,
Clare
