Dean's Letter: College of Letters and Science Magazine 2019
UC Davis has always been known for its commitment to making the world better. Of course, that effort starts with providing access and opportunity to a broad range of students.

The UC Davis College of Letters and Science has established a new prize to recognize and support faculty whose research, teaching, and service exemplifies the transformational intellectual and human value of the liberal arts and sciences. For 2019-20, the prize will include a privately funded award of $10,000.
