The twelve UC Davis graduate students in the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences in the 2019 cohort will present their community-based projects, followed by a reception and resource share. We invite you to eat, drink and engage with these promising graduate scholars in their work.

The Mellon Public Scholars Program provides intellectual and material support to UC Davis graduate scholars in the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences to design and carry-out a summer project in collaboration with a community partner. Program Manager Stephanie Maroney will share details about the 2020 call for proposals - open through January 15, 2020. UC Davis graduate students in the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences interested in applying for the program are encouraged to attend and bring their questions.
