A student created series
My name is Swetha and I'm a second-year
statistics major with an
emphasis on data science
And I'm going to be your host for
this series where we're not doing
your typical interviews
Instead we're going to have about
12 students who have mostly never
met before have an open
conversation about all things UC Davis
From first-year experiences and
campus culture to academics

not bring the community to you?
