Highlighting Black History and Black Futures at UC Davis
Aggie Black Excellence connects with the department of African and African American Studies to elevate the history and culture of communities of African descent around the world, as well as on our own campus.
Aggie Black Excellence invites all to celebrate and elevate Black achievement at UC Davis by engaging the campus community in meaningful action to honor Black history and Black futures. We strive to empower individuals and groups through a four-pronged approach: engaging research and practice to highlight excellence and innovation, equipping change-makers to expand access and visibility, advancing the success of students, faculty, and staff, and sharing impactful solutions to inspire transformative change on campus and beyond.
This project is a collaborative space, open to all interested in supporting advocacy, mentorship and professional development.
Our Commitment to Action
We aim to empower action and strategic planning for long-term success and efficacy of groups and individuals doing this important work to shape the future of education and opportunity at UC Davis. In order to align with the campus strategic plan our commitment to these efforts encompasses a four-pronged approach:
Research: Connect research and practice by bringing together people, projects and partnerships to highlight excellence and innovation, study pressing problems and identify evidence-based solutions.
Action: Research, support and scale-up interventions that establish/expand access to opportunities, increase visibility of scholarship and practice, and establish campus-wide accountability measures
Advancement: Explore research and evidence-based approaches to facilitate the advancement of students, faculty, and staff to thrive, succeed, and achieve their full academic and professional potential through the establishment/enhancement of strategic internal and external partnerships.
Dissemination: Share research results broadly; internally within campus; externally to the broader network of stakeholders, including but not limited to academic, corporate, government, non-profit, and neighboring communities.
