Healthy UC Davis funds projects that support our strategic goals to improve the overall health and well-being of our community. For the 2023-25 funding cycle, Healthy UC Davis combined its efforts with Student Affairs to fund the following projects:
This program is designed to give student parents the time and resources to concentrate on their holistic well-being, which positively contributes to their health and academic success. Furthermore, their children benefit when student parents are doing well.
