Why I Chose 51�ԹϺ�� Davis: My Egghead Story

Jamie Sara Gelfond — June 03, 2024 - 2:03pm

When I was applying to colleges, it was at the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020. As an incoming senior in high school, I felt so intimidated by the premise of choosing a college to go to without ever having been on a tour while students were in session. In order to make me slightly less nervous about college applications, my parents offered to go on a road trip with me so I could see some of the campuses I was applying to.

51�ԹϺ�� Davis is seeking input on a future line of licensed apparel and merchandise featuring the likeness of the iconic Robert Arneson Egghead sculptures.

More information about that launch is forthcoming, but members of the entire campus community can provide input through a brief online survey, which is available now through Sept. 28.

The survey, which should take only a few minutes to complete, will ask for opinions about the individual Eggheads, potential merchandise and more.

Wet and Windy Start to Winter Quarter

When dozens of trees toppled on campus in wicked wind and rain over the last 10 days, crews from Grounds and Landscape Services and the Arboretum and Public Garden responded quickly to clear paths and roads and start clearing the debris.

One tree crashed into a building, putting a hole in the wall, drawing a quick response by a maintenance team that nailed a sheet of plywood over the hole. Another tree landed atop one of the campus’s Egghead sculptures, requiring extra care.
