Thursday Thoughts: September 19, 2024

Welcome to UC Davis, new Aggies! If this is your first time here, we’re excited for you to watch Thursday Thoughts, a weekly show where my wife LeShelle and I answer questions sent in to us. If you’ve been here before, welcome back! We missed you! 🫶🏾
Today, we’re on the lawn of Mrak Hall, right next to Peter J. Shields Library. In this episode, we discuss what we like about UC Davis and the Davis community, pointers we want newcomers to know, what we’re looking forward to this fall, how UC Davis has changed during my seven years as chancellor, and more! Bonus points if you know all the ABCs of UCD, and stay till the end to see LeShelle make her best guesses. 😆
