Greater discovery is the hallmark of our success at the College of Engineering, where donors achieved a bold vision for innovation with the new Diane Bryant Engineering Student Design Center. Opened in 2023, the 23,000-square-foot space is filled with advanced equipment and state-of-the-art tools that promote collaboration and hands-on exploration so students can learn how to engineer a better tomorrow.

Together, we are ensuring every student has the resources they need to achieve their greatest potential. Donor-funded programs like AvenueE and LEADR are advancing opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds through bridge programs, scholarships, mentoring and community building. The 871 students who benefited from these programs are now next-level engineers in their respective fields.

From recruiting the most brilliant minds to hiring faculty to conduct groundbreaking research at UC Davis, philanthropic support has been critical to our mission to bring a sustainable, healthier and more resilient world within reach.
