Discovery, Leadership and Service: CBS Honors Outstanding Undergraduates at Annual Awards Ceremony
Philanthropy-supported awards celebrate exceptional achievement in research, mentorship, academics and community impact
Each spring, the College of Biological Sciences celebrates graduating students whose achievements exemplify the spirit of discovery, leadership, and service that define UC Davis. At the college’s annual undergraduate awards ceremony, students are recognized for exceptional accomplishments in research, academics, mentorship, and community engagement.
The awards reflect both the extraordinary talent of CBS students and the generosity of supporters whose philanthropy makes these opportunities possible. Through scholarships and support for the CBS Dean’s Innovation Fund, donors help students pursue hands-on learning experiences in laboratories, clinics, classrooms, and the field—experiences that often shape the trajectory of their careers and future contributions to science and society.
This year’s recipients have distinguished themselves not only through academic excellence, but through their commitment to advancing knowledge, supporting their communities, and expanding opportunities for others. Their work spans regenerative biology, neuroscience, ecology, molecular biology, clinical research, disability advocacy, and mentorship, reflecting the breadth of scholarship and impact within the College of Biological Sciences.
