What the Transfer? is a connection for EOP Transfer students. We will meet bi-weekly to explore topics related to transitioning from the semester to the quarter system. The 2 hours connection offers 1 hour of mentorship facilitated by EOP Retention Specialist, Christina L. Jackson and 1 hour to explore the campus with other first-year Transfer students. Weekly themes will voted on during the first connection so that the connection curriculum is developed specifically for the students enrolled.

(EOP Transfer Only)

You gotta eat, at least three times a day, right? Let’s gather together at eating spots across the campus and downtown, or even bring an item to share one time that introduces you, through food! Our first meeting will be at the International Center (where I work). Food is a great entry point into learning about each other and what our unique backgrounds are. UC Davis and the town of Davis have an incredible diversity of restaurants, coffee shops, teashops and more. I will bring resources around a theme for each meet up. Some options include the Dining Halls, Student Resource Center, Cross Cultural Center, MU / Coffeehouse, Campus Festivals and the ASUCD Pantry. Through food and conversation, we can learn about how you each fit into UC Davis and discover the resources and opportunities to help you thrive and succeed as you join our Aggie family!

• Time and Location: Mondays (5:10-6:00PM); International Center (room TBD)

This Connection will focus on the four pillars of basic needs: access to healthy food options; affordable housing; mental wellness; and financial stability. Participants in this Connection will learn how to find affordable housing options, learn about renter's rights and responsibilities, learn how to budget personal finances, learn about campus food resources and take a tour of the student farm.

The world of UC Davis is much bigger than its campus boundaries. Government and Community Relations serves as the official voice of UC Davis to the regional community and to local, state and federal government. Learn about the many external connections we foster on behalf of UC Davis and how you can apply the skills of relations and advocacy in navigating your student experience, future career, and beyond. This Connection will incorporate exclusive, yet casual, discussions with key campus administrators, external community leaders and alums where possible. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in an introduction to how the university advocates and networks with the broader regional community.

Are you the one who hates raising your hand in class, even when you know the answer? Do you prefer a few deep friendships over hanging with anyone and everyone? Does your ideal Friday night involve the words “Netflix” and “jammies”? Maybe you’ve always been encouraged to “put yourself out there,” or “stop being so shy.” If this sounds like you, then join your fellow introverts to learn about what it really means to be a “quiet one” in a world that chatters 24/7. You’ll learn about your brain’s physiology, the personality characteristics common to introverts, and how to hack your brain during those times when you need to act like an extrovert. Then, we’ll dive into strategies for getting the most out of your college experience while staying true to who you are.

This Connection is open to all first-year undergraduate students (freshman, transfer, and international).
