Resources for Passover
This year, Passover begins at sundown on April 22nd and ends after nightfall on April 30th. In support of our patients, faculty, employees, students, and community members, we would like to share resources for awareness, care, and guidance around accommodations to consider when scheduling important academic deadlines, events and activities or when hosting gathering and/or meetings where food is provided.
Visible Resilience: Celebrating Womxn in Tech at UC Davis
The UC Davis Womxn in Tech (WIT) group received an official campus designation and became a subgroup of the Status of Women at Davis Administrative Advisory Committee (SWADAAC).
Creating Spaces
A 2021 Pew Research study found that while women are earning more than half of higher education degrees, they are still significantly underrepresented in the fields of engineering and computer science. Additionally, according to 2021 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly 12% of all computing and mathematics occupations are held by women of color. While the issues that lead to these statistics do not have one, simple fix, the University of California, Davis, and the College of Engineering are aiming to shift their trajectories through programs aimed at supporting women of color in their pursuit of STEM education and careers.
