Education Prevails
My best wishes to you for 2025!
As we move into the new year, we have many blessings to be grateful for. The upcoming year is filled with exciting opportunities here at UC Davis International Programs.
We are grateful for our partners – the universities we’ve worked with for decades as well as the new relationships with high schools and universities currently underway. We’re grateful for our staff and instructors, whose hard work and commitment to student success and partner satisfaction serve as the foundation for our innovative portfolio of programs. And most of all, we’re grateful to our students, whose stories of academic and professional success inspire us daily.
These are just a few of our most inspiring stories from students this past year:
- Ryotaro Okada—From Davis to Disney: How UC Davis Helped Him Achieve His Dream
- Bolun Zhang—Empowering Global Scholars: The Impact of UC Davis Research Opportunities
- Muhammad Faiz Satrio—How UC Davis Became My Home Away from Home
Our focus is always to create a positive impact on the lives of our students and the world. This year, as artificial intelligence and new technologies become an increasing part of our daily lives, I am reminded of the impact of continuous education across one’s lifespan and how skills such as information literacy, critical thinking, communication skills and global and cultural competencies are essential for success in the 21st-century. As we look at what lies ahead for 2025, we are committed to ensuring that our programs provide more than just a high-quality experience but also stimulate our students beyond their expectations and prepare them to achieve their goals today, tomorrow and well into the future.
I believe 2025 is a year of infinite potential. We look forward to working with you to realize those opportunities. We are already gearing up for summer with new program offerings that promise to create an amazingly impactful year for your students!
