BUILDING THE CAPACITY to do the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion on the UC Davis campus has been a multi-year, multi-pronged process to assess and understand the opportunities at UC Davis. UC DAVIS IS POSITIONED to be a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion in part because of its identity as a leader in health, teacher education, ethnic studies, agriculture, and engineering, among others. As a land grant research intensive university in the most diverse state in the nation, UC Davis sits at the border of the rural and urban, within wealthy and impoverished communities, and where government and private industry co-exist.
