A maker space for undergraduate research, the BioInnovation Lab provides a place for students to learn basic lab skills, experiment, innovate and contribute to research while also providing access to technologies they might not otherwise have. Explore how College of Letters and Science faculty are using the space in their classes.
In her first physics internship at UC Davis, undergraduate student Kelsey Stallard always felt concern she didn’t know enough. Leaning into curiosity would help a year later in her internship at Stanford University where she got to work with lasers and won a prize for her research.
Every year, the Bodega Marine Laboratory hosts summer sessions for undergraduate students interested in coastal systems and marine science. During the roughly five-week program, students take classes in topics like coastal oceanography, marine environmental issues and biological oceanography. They conduct fieldwork and go on field trips to nearby sites like the Hog Island Oyster Company. Students can even live at the lab’s on-site dormitory during the session.
Lidia Wolday didn’t see herself as someone who could do research when she arrived at UC Davis. A first-generation student, she had just transferred from a community college. This year she graduates with new confidence from her experiences conducting and presenting her own academic research.
In "CHE 125 — Advanced Methods in Physical Chemistry," undergraduate students apply advanced theory and laboratory techniques to personal research projects that they complete in a 10-week time frame
Increasing diversity among faculty in higher education has become a major priority within the University of California. A summer program led by the Center for Poverty and Inequality Research hosted CSU undergraduates from across the state to help clear a pathway for them to pursue advanced degrees.
Five students from the College of Letters and Science were awarded the Norma J. Lang Prize for Undergraduate Information Research. Their work spans multiple disciplines across the prize category of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences.
As society reckons with the fallout from this atmospheric chemical change, University of California researchers are seeking solutions to not only mitigate emissions but to harness carbon dioxide waste.
Brooke Morey was recognized as the top graduating senior at UC Davis during the commencements at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center June 14 to 16. She was awarded the University Medal
The Department of Asian American Studies, Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, and Department of African and African American Studies each will receive $100,000 in funding as part of a new set of grants from the Mellon Foundation.
