Public Scholarship and Engagement is excited to announce nine graduate students have joined the second cohort of UC Davis scholars selected for its Public Scholars for the Future fellowship. 

The fellowship program prepares the next generation of public scholars to integrate community-centered theories, methods and techniques into their disciplinary field of study, research design and methods. The program was launched in partnership with UC Davis Graduate Studies in spring 2022.

“The Public Scholars for the Future fellowship exemplifies UC Davis' commitment to community-engaged research and scholarship. There are few university-wide programs across the country that bring together an interdisciplinary group of emerging scholars, and we are honored to support them on their journey," said Michael Rios, vice provost of public scholarship and engagement.
