Two NAS Grad Students Chosen for the 2020 Initiative Task Force

1/3/2012

Two NAS Grad Students have been chosen to serve on the 2020 Intiative Task Force. Nicole
Moore (MA student in NAS; PhD student in Education) and Cutcha Risling Baldy (PhD student in NAS) will each serve on one of the 2020 Initiative Committees. Read more about the initiative below.

The 2020 Initiative: A Path to Academic Excellence and Economic Opportunity Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi has initiated a campus conversation about how to sustain and enhance excellence at UC Davis, building on existing strengths and resources to become a more active partner with the state in supporting higher education. The campus is now considering the prospect of a new future that will include expanding educational opportunities to an increased number of California, national and international students.

“The goal is to continue creating a university that can sustain its rising trajectory through its own best efforts, leveraging support from the state but rising above the fiscal limitations we now face,” Katehi said on Sept. 21, 2011, when she announced the 2020 Initiative during her annual fall convocation address.

    Welcome!

    Welcome to the Davis Native American Studies Graduate Student Blog. This blog was started as a place to update on all of the amazing work that is being done by the Graduate Students in the UC Davis Native American Studies Department. The Graduate Program in Native American Studies was approved in 1998, making UC Davis only the second university in the nation to offer a Ph.D. in Native American Studies. In Fall 1999, the Department welcomed its first group of students enrolled in the M.A. and Ph.D. Programs in Native American Studies.
