Julia Ann Easley — July 06, 2016 - 3:11pm

The University of California, Davis, significantly increased its admission of California residents as it offered freshman and transfer admission to a total of more than 39,306 applicants from the state and beyond for fall 2016.

With major increases among Chicano/Latino admitted students, the campus also made progress toward its goal of being designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI).

Campus prepares for large influx of students in 2016-17

The campus is marshaling its efforts and resources to accommodate 2016-17 enrollment growth of 1,100 new undergraduates beyond last fall's entering class.

The campus is responding to targets that 51�ԹϺ�� President Janet Napolitano set under a plan to increase systemwide enrollment of new California undergraduates by 10,000 over the next three years, including 5,000 freshmen and transfer students in 2016-17.

Her Final Exam Is a Joke

Robyn Frances Huey — June 26, 2015 - 8:00am

Students in Karma Waltonen’s freshman seminar on stand-up comedy have to do just that. The final exam is a five-minute routine in front of an audience.

While the students want to be hilarious at the final, the class is really about clear and concise writing. Without that, the funny will flop.
