UC Davis was founded in 1908 to serve the state of California. We do and we always will. And today, the seed that was planted those years ago has grown into one of the world’s top universities.

Our mission is to serve the global community by conducting research, developing training, and providing outreach programs that focus on 
safer, better quality food systems, water quality, and healthy animals, to safeguard the health and security of people, animals, and the environment.
