Examples of activities that may be considered for funding include academic conferences, sports training camps, fine art workshops, tutoring, extracurricular school essentials (i.e. costuming, sports equipment, musical instruments), etc.  Applications will be reviewed on a case-by- case basis and all grant awards will depend on the merit of the requests, number of applicants and funding availability.

-Parking: Starting November 1, the Davis Police Department will be ticketing drivers who park in the campus staff spaces without a current staff placard. Please also be mindful of signs that indicate no loading or unloading or right turn only as drivers can be ticketed at any time for these moving violations. For those who use the stadium lot, some of the spaces will be reassigned to assist in a safer loading and unloading area. So, please make sure to check the space before you pull in to make sure it is not a "staff only" space as some of these will be changed.
