Ways to Volunteer, Donate, and Give Back as a UC Davis Student

If you’re graduating this quarter, you likely already have an idea of what you’ll be doing with your degree or what you’ll be doing to further your education. However, if you’re still a year or so away from graduating, you might be starting to think about your post-grad goals. This post is designed to help connect you with both on and off campus resources to help you figure out your post-grad endeavors!

Whether you’re planning on continuing your education, taking time off to travel, getting involved in research, or starting your career, there are resources for you!

Hey Aggies! For this week, I wanted to spotlight some of the amazing talent that we have on campus. Here is a guide to just some of the incredible student run groups on campus that are worth going to watch (or even perform in)!

UC Davis isn’t just about labs, lectures, and late-night study sessions—it’s also home to some seriously talented student performers. Whether you're into jazz, K-pop, improv comedy, or orchestral video game soundtracks, there’s a group here doing it live—and often for free or student-discounted prices.

Sometimes Spring Quarter can feel like running a marathon! Staying locked in on studying can feel impossible especially when the gorgeous weather is calling your name through the window. I’m here to hopefully offer some helpful tips to our GDB community on how to stay energized and motivated throughout this final stretch of the academic year. Let’s break free from the slump and finish strong—here’s how!

Hi! I’m Emily, one of your GDB Peer Advisors, and one of my favorite parts of this job is being able to connect and relate with other GDB students. My status as a student at UC Davis makes me better equipped to answer student’s questions about the difficulty of certain classes or professors, and what on-campus resources I’d recommend. If you’ve had an appointment with me, and especially if I’ve helped you with an academic plan, you can probably tell that I prioritize mental health, and encourage students to do what works best for their goals and well-being.

Our current peers would love to share their advising experience with you all!
