Slice of Advising
Have a few slices of pizza while meeting fellow CA&ES students and Dean’s Office advisors! In an informal setting, ask any questions you may have about your academic plans and also give others advice on how to thrive at UC Davis. You’ll sit at a table with a small group of peers and an advisor and you can come and go as you please. This event happens once a quarter. Check out the calendar for the next Slice of Advising.
Coffee with the Dean
This is an opportunity to chat with members of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CA&ES) leadership. Dean Helene Dillard and Associate Dean Sue Ebeler have a lot of experience working with college students and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the college or how to maximize your college career. They can share words of wisdom and offer sound advice on various topics like research, industry, building community, and how to get involved. This event happens during Fall and Spring quarter. Check out the calendar for the next Coffee with the Dean.
Study Break
Take a break from studying and finals to grab some goodies and CA&ES swag at the Dean’s Office. The Undergraduate Academic Programs (UAP) advisors can answer quick questions and cheer you on as you finish another quarter (cow bells may be involved.) This event happens every quarter during finals week. Check out the calendar for the next Study Break.
Webinars
If you’re not able to make it to one of our in-person events, we’ll come to you!

Webinars happen every quarter. Check out the calendar for the next live webinar or watch a previous webinar here.
