Whether an election is about voting for a person or a proposition, the season can feel intense. Opinions sharpen, timelines accelerate and conversations spill from social feeds into classrooms, clinics, labs and offices. 

That’s why UC Davis Inclusive Excellence maintains the Elections Resource page: a centralized hub designed to support informed participation, connect you with nonpartisan information, and promote respect and understanding across our community.

In the September 2025 issue of the LACCEI bulletin, Vice Chancellor for Inclusive Excellence and LACCEI President Renetta G. Tull takes center stage as the organization highlights its global leadership in engineering education. The piece emphasizes her active participation at key international forums, including the SEFI 2025 Annual Conference in Finland and the WEEF‑GEDC 2025 event in Korea—underscoring how Tull is driving the consortium’s commitment to pedagogical innovation, sustainability, and global competence in engineering.

CAMPSSAH Faculty Scholars Kathleen Cruz, Natalia Duong, and Zinzi Clemmons received the DHI Research Fellowships.

When José Roa graduated from high school in Woodland, California, college didn’t feel like an option.

“I didn’t think I was college material,” he said. “I just didn’t connect with school at the time.”

So instead of enrolling, Roa enlisted in the U.S. Army. What he found there changed the course of his life.
