As UC Davis celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Principles of Community, graduates and alums are invited to help welcome the incoming Fall 2025 class by submitting Words of Affirmation—messages of advice, encouragement, or reflections to help new Aggies feel seen, valued, and supported from day one.
This is part of a university-wide initiative. Submissions may be featured at welcome events, in digital displays, or across UC Davis platforms to help foster a strong sense of belonging.
