We all want a world that is healthier, sustainable, safer and more enjoyable.

UC Davis is helping us get there by striving to always put people first. As a top-ranked research university, and the second-largest employer in the region, it’s no wonder our employees are leading the way in teaching, research, public service and patient care.

Leadership Message: August is Family Fun Month

  • by Sandy M Batchelor
August is Family Fun Month, and each year, I look forward to visiting my young adult kids. They are both in that stage of “extended launching” and tend to move around a lot, allowing my spouse and me to explore a new place and do some actual living (that other half of the work-life) with the people I care about most.

Did you know that August is National Wellness Month?

It was established in 2011 by the International Self-Care Foundation (ISF) and is recognized each year on July 24th as a symbol that the benefits of self-care are experienced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
