UC Davis Events Calendar

The welcome mat is always out at the Welcome Center, but, for this event, the welcome is especially for the campus community. The open house is meant to showcase the services the center provides to prospective students, newly admitted students, general visitors and the campus community — all in furtherance of the university's academic and public service mission. The open house will provide information on guided campus tours and admissions advising (and how to arrange such services). Also: Visitors can tour the center and learn about its availability for after-hours use. Plus, refreshments and giveaways.

RSVP link will be posted here when available.

The reception, postponed from June 20, is for faculty and staff whose retirement dates fall from July 2, 2018, to July 1, 2019, from the Davis campus and UC Davis Health. Each retiree is welcome to bring one guest.

The Retiree Center has set up two RSVP links, each offering the opportunity to receive a special retirement certificate signed by Chancellor Gary S. May and to provide your email address for the purpose of receiving newsletters and other notifications, say, for day trips, campus tours, volunteer opportunities and special programing. (If you RSVP'd for the original date, you have been automatically registered for the new date, or you may contact the Retiree Center by email to have your name removed from the registration list.)

Responses are due by Monday, Aug. 19:

• “RSVP Yes” if you will attend. Your certificate, if you opt for one, will be available at the reception.
• “RSVP No” if you will not attend but would still like to receive a certificate (to be available for pickup at the Retiree Center during the week of Sept. 9) or provide your email address.

This 2019 documentary is about UC Davis’ new women’s soccer coach, Tracy Hamm, and her pursuit of the prestigious United European Football Association’s “A” coaching license after being stymied in her effort to secure a top license from the U.S. Soccer Federation. See the trailer.

This free screening is presented by UC Davis’ Marya Welch Initiative for Women’s Athletics, providing comprehensive support for UC Davis’ 16 women’s athletics programs. Welch, who died in 2012, founded women’s sports at UC Davis 25 years before the passage of Title IX. She was a physical education instructor, coach and dean of women.
