Initiatives

Goal 1

Prepare our most vulnerable students and graduates of 2020-2023 for security and success in the post-pandemic economy

  • Aggie Launch University of California, Davis

    Aggie Launch is designed to advance the promise of a college degree – a career utilizing that degree through full employment – for all undergraduates. UC Davis is home to many first-generation students and students of color, both of whom are disproportionately impacted by college graduate underemployment. Aggie Launch will work to correct this disparity by integrating career and professional experience into undergraduate life, engaging 100% of the UC Davis student body in experiential learning, meaningful mentorship, and early career search support to propel a successful launch into post-graduate employment.

Goal 2

Support and partner with our communities and government in an inclusive recovery through and after COVID-19, focusing on displaced workers, adult learners, PK-12 systems, economic development, community health and COVID-19 support

  • Aggie Square Community Benefits Partnership Agreement (CBPA) University of California, Davis

    UC Davis, the city of Sacramento and Wexford Science & Technology signed the Aggie Square Community Benefits Partnership Agreement (CBPA) that solidified a commitment to neighborhoods around Aggie Square, the university’s new campus-hosted innovation district. Aggie Square is located on the UC Davis Sacramento campus. Central to the CBPA and the public-private partnership is a collaborative effort to bring jobs and job training to Aggie Square. It promotes affordable student housing, better transportation options, and youth education programs. Jobs for local community members are being prioritized, and more than $50 million is being directed to an affordable student housing fund.
