<strong>Some of the students who have participated in the Leadership Job Shadow program at UC Davis.</strong>

One student called it “an experience like no other,” while another thanked organizers for “launching this program and allowing it to teach students so much about leadership in a workplace that can't be taught in a classroom setting.”

Students who have participated in Chancellor Gary S. May’s Leadership Job Shadow Program are sharing their stories on social media and the UC Davis website. Those students, selected to spend a day with May or other members of his leadership team, like vice chancellors and deans, sit in on meetings and see firsthand what those at the helm of various parts of the university do on a daily basis.

Applications for the ongoing program are being accepted through Friday (April 5). Stories from previous participants can be seen on the UC Davis leadership webpage.

Screaming the stress away

As finals loomed last month, a group of students gathered on the Quad for what has become a quarterly tradition: spending a few moments screaming as loud as possible.

A few hundred people said they planned to attend the March 15 event, organized each quarter by a Facebook page devoted to campus-specific memes. See (and hear) what it was like in the above video.
