We had a fantastic time playing in the King Hall Legal Foundation’s 14th Steve Boutin Invitational Golf Tournament on a marvelous, sunny Friday at Wildhorse Golf Club in Davis.
I played on a team with my college friend, Leo O'Farrell, Professor Irene Joe and UC Davis Law men’s head basketball coach Jim Les. We had a record-breaking round. Professor Joe had two amazing putts in the 30-foot range!
The annual Lorenzo Patiño Banquet organized by the Latinx Law Students Association was again a stunning success.
With us to celebrate on Saturday at the beautiful Tsakopoulos Library Galleria in Sacramento were Chancellor Gary May and his wife, LeShelle, as well as Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Mary Croughan.
Each year, the celebration of graduates is a wonderful gathering of students, faculty, staff, friends and family.
The Aoki Center & HSI speaker series wrapped up for the year on Tuesday with an important talk by UC Davis Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Diversity and Professor Luis Carvajal-Carmona, “Advancing Cancer Health Equity Through Community-Focused Research.”
It was a busy lunch hour at King Hall on Tuesday. The Latinx Law Students Association, as part of its culture week, held a panel of LaLSA alums to talk about law school and potential careers.
Thank you to Jessica Martinez ‘19, Magaly Zagal ’18 and Kendra Rivas ’21 for taking the time to share your experiences with current students.
On Monday, the Latinx Law Students Association held the first of its culture week events.
The speaker, Edher Zamudio, was introduced by LaLSA president Leslie De La Torre ’24. Zamudio is an academic services professional and committed community activist. An immigrant from Peru, he talked about his immigration experience.
I want to share this video released today by Chancellor Gary S. May addressing the scheduled student group-hosted appearance by Charlie Kirk. In the video, Chancellor May reaffirms that “UC Davis stands with our transgender and non-binary Aggies in opposition to this hateful and divisive messaging.”
Earlier today, I sent a message to the King Hall community that reads, in part:
On March 8, the Lambda Law Students Association hosted the Annual Bill Smith Lecture by Bamby Salcedo, President and CEO of TransLatin@ Coalition. The lecture was the highlight of Lambda Culture Week.
Based in Los Angeles, Salcedo, a dedicated social justice activist, shared her story of inspiration and hope with students. The coalition provides for direct services and empowerment and promoting political change. Salcedo talked about continued discrimination against trans people in California.
The Aoki Center on Critical Race and Nation Studies this week continued its Interdisciplinary Speaker Series with a lecture, "Promotive and Inhibitive Outcomes Among Black Girls in California Schools: A Civil Rights Data Collection Exploratory Study," presented by Professor Faheemah Mustafaa, Kiara Jones and Tadria Cardenas Rico.
Cameroon Supreme Court Justice and women’s rights leader Vera Ngassa spoke to a global audience on March 2 as part of the California International Law Center (CILC) series “Global Voices on Human Rights, Democracy, and Social Justice.”
Each year the Lambda Law Students Association invites a speaker in the disability or LGBTQ rights fields to speak in Bill Smith's honor. Bamby Salcedo, President and CEO of the TransLatin@ Coalition, will be the featured 2023 Bill Smith Memorial Lecture speaker.
