7th chancellor of UC Davis, engineer & family man. To boldly go...
#FromLabsToLives 7th chancellor of the @UCDavis Aggies, engineer, innovator & family man.
06/11/2026
This weekend, 12,000 students will join the ranks of Aggie alumni — exactly 100 years after our first class of four-year graduates walked the stage in 1926.
They join a proud tradition of Aggie innovators. Over our history, UC Davis research has transformed agriculture to help feed the world, driven scientific discoveries that opened new paths for medicine and shaped the policies that make our planet more sustainable.
From cleaning the air we breathe to bringing in the tomato harvest, from delivering medical treatments to patients nationwide to helping California wine set the global standard, UC Davis innovators lead.
Congratulations to every one of our graduates! I can’t wait to see what you achieve next.
