- Plan your next steps for a successful transfer.
- Participate in information sessions about undergraduate research, transfer student resources and preparing for a career or graduate study.
- Learn about identifying a major ideally suited to your career choice.
- Get details on how to finance your degree.
- Attend a panel discussion to find out how other TOP students have achieved their goals.
- Take a student-led tour of the UC Davis campus.
This free event includes continental breakfast and lunch, as well as transportation from your community college.

Come prepared for an active day: wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat and layered clothing, and consider packing a bottle of water. There will be plenty for you to see and do!
