School of Education Donor Named UC Alumni Regent
July 2014
Rod Davis (BA ‘71) has been named alumni regent on the University of California Board of Regents. Mr. Davis and his wife Susan Davis (Credential ‘73) have established the Susan Davis Award, an endowed scholarship fund to support students studying to be elementary school teachers in the UC Davis School of Education. The first award will be made in fall 2015.
The couple were the first members of the School’s Dean’s Leadership Circle, which honors alumni and friends who lead by example with their gifts to the School. “I support the School of Education because it serves an important mission: to create powerful mentors and educational leaders for our region. The work of the School, particularly through its strong teacher education program, touches thousands and thousands of lives.”
