, above, Chancellor May and LeShelle answer the question, “Is it weird to be famous?” No, but it’s definitely humbling.

To the UC Davis Community:
By now you have probably heard the good news that the federal government and the California Department of Public Health have authorized the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to ages 12 to 15. The Davis campus vaccine clinic administered its first two doses in this new age group at 8 a.m. yesterday and appointments for next week are available on the state’s My Turn website.

To the UC Davis Community:
The culmination of a university experience means so much: personal growth, a broadening of perspectives, practical skills and lifelong bonds. A diploma is perhaps an inadequate means of representing the countless days and nights of hard work spent toward that end, but it is still an incredibly meaningful acknowledgment, and its transference is a joyous occasion.
Among the painful and unfair costs the pandemic has extracted from the world is the inability for many students to mark the end of their academic journeys with a commencement ceremony. Thankfully our university and city community has been incredibly diligent and cautious, and we can now enjoy the benefits of our hard work.
